This is more of an open to all invite than an actual event for now. I'm going to try to drum up some people at Coachella in a couple weeks, and then at Tucson in March.
High Sierra Jets April 8-9 2017 RENO-SPARKS, NEVADA
Field is at 5000'
Runway is 620X70 paved with a small cross runway (290X50).
Covered area, a lot of workbench space BUT no power
It's only $20.00 for both days, or $10 for one day for non-members to fly.
It's out of town so no worries about noise, smoke, etc.
Dry camping is allowed at the field, and there are plenty of Casino and other hotels within 15-30 minutes of the field. There is food and a store about 10 minutes away.
One hole campground type toilet on site.
AMA and Turbine Waiver required.
Enter through Pyramid Highway SR445, then west on Eagle Canyon Road. GPS on flyer
Email: desertlakesflying@yahoo.com to RSVP if you can make it please
Some directions:
Take Pyramid Higway (SR445) north to Eagle Canyon Road and turn left (approximately 5.5 miles from the McCarran and Pyramid intersection). Then follow Eagle Canyon Road up the hill past the schools and continue on until you reach the Indian Colony. Continue on the main road through the indian colony until you come to the dirt road. Stay to the left as you enter the dirt road and follow that until you cross the cattle guard. After crossing the cattle guard take the main dirt road to the left. Do not follow the power lines. The main road is well taveled, and usually reasonable for even cars. Follow that road about a mile and the field will be on the right. You will see the windsock as you approach. Please watch for speed limit signs on the Indian land. 45 after you cross into the Indian Colony, and it drops to 35 after you come around the bend at the bottom of the hill.
The best address I have is 9075 Eagle Canyon Drive, Sparks, NV 89441 That should get you to the entrance to the Indian Colony on your gps or phone maps.
