Description

This cleared area was once an RC airplane park but it has been shut down for a while and is closed to us landing at.  The paved runway, clubhouse, barriers, etc have been removed and it's now the nicest place to land on an XC flight in the Eagle River valley, however it is closed to us to land.  This is an emergency only landing site. As with any LZ in this valley, the mid-day winds can be strong and when mixed with thermals, the final approach can be rowdy.
