I'd suggest planning on an instrument approach regardless of weather.

Nah...Come right over the SAF VOR, follow the straight line over
the prison and there you are.

Helps to have the GPS on.

But the SAF tower is very helpful to the pilot that states "unfamiliar

But then, just about every airport around here blends in with the
surrounding dirt.
