Chris,
The Ardoin turnpoint described by George Moffat in "Winning on the Wind" was about 115 miles northwest of Marfa. It was a private airstrip near the salt flats southwest of Guadalupe Peak, on the south side of highway 62/180 that goes west to El Paso. It is no longer there, at least it does not appear on a current El Paso Sectional or the WAC Chart CH-23 (both useful for XC planning out of Marfa.) The "Figure 2" Ranch private airstrip is up thataway, south of where Ardoin used to be, along highway 54 - by the Sierra Diablo Mountains. Sounds like you are putting together a set of good turnpoints for your Region Five group's summer 2004 expedition to fly with us at Marfa, near the mountains of west Texas. We will have a "Marfa Gliders" booth at the Atlanta SSA Convention - see you there!
