So... *You flew back and removed the sticks from the runway?


Naw. They're right at the ragged edge of the tarmac, which on that
runway isn't useful for anything other than launching a glider. Close
to trees, etc. You can argue it's bad form and I would not
disagree... but relative to the risk of taking out a landing light
with a downwind/downhill takeoff, we judged it the right thing to do.
