"and likely fine from the police" The police can fine you for an outlanding? Bob Well, first of all it's not the police, its the national park service. That section of ridge is , of all things, a "national recreation area"....which means: "don't be seen doing anything the resembles fun in any way." Although the rangers typically hand out a summons for landing in "other than a designated area", which is a law on the books..........they forget to read the whole law, which states "except in circumstances beyond the control of the operator". So you don't have to pay the fine...... Now the really funny thing is that where we do typically land in the national recreation area, is called the "Hialeah Air Park"...."Air" like "airplane" like model airplane, like a 500' billiard table smooth landing strip with long approaches on either side, with a huge farm field along side too. Actually any out landing on private property can be considered "trespassing" and the owner could easily press charges if he so desired! Be real humble, polite, and thankful to the owner of wherever you land out! Cookie |
