Crestline Soaring Society

Ok, I've given various images of the Tenancingo flying sites to the CSS web-site. Now here is a corresponding map of the sites in Tenancingo Mexico, the city with seven officially recognized flying sites, and only four pilots.

Here are some Google maps showing how to get from the Airpark up to Marshall Peak or Crestline. The trips to Marshall Peak and Crestline both take 25-35 minutes.
Going to Marshall involves a couple of miles on a dirt road, 2N40. There are paved roads all the way to Crestline, and they're kept plowed in the winter, though the Crestline parking area may be full of snow.


Airpark LZ to Waterman Ave./Hwy 18 & Up the Mtn.
The first map details getting from the Aipark to Highway 18. The Northpark Blvd. route has been favored by most pilots for several years because it was a little shorter and only had a few stop signs; it has recently had three stoplights installed near the University and there is a new stop sign near the Airpark, so the advantage over the Kendall/40th St. route to the South may be history. The southern route is certainly best for visitors, since there are only a few turns. The left turn from 40th onto Waterman (Hwy. 18) can take several signal-cycles to get through, so an alternative is to turn left on Sierra Way, two lights before Waterman, and then catch the 48th St. connector to Waterman, which has no light.

Good pizza and sandwiches in a non-chain restaurant. Spacious, moderately priced, casual atmosphere. The CSS holds meetings there from time to time.

There's a great little Thai food place right near the Airpark - 'Thai Place'.
Small mom and pop hole in the wall. Entrees are about $8 each, 2 entrees plus complimentary rice will satisfy 2 hungry pilots.

Marshall Peak Fence Project Completed! CSS Rocks!

A large and enthusiastic group came with an awesome array of tools and worked very hard, completing the work by about 5:30 PM - Story and photos will be on the website within a few days. Thanks very much to everyone!

"Day 2" workers who were to go in with weedwackers still needed on Sunday. Work begins 9:00 AM, should be completed by 11:00 AM. Please bring 5 gallon jugs of water for fire safety if you can.
