Quit yar whining. You can always launch at Dalton off the ramp and downwind to RR. At least it keeps the viet schlong at bay.

FYI
Stevenson is now an Easterly launch BUT its super sketchy. There is a tree in the way. Also, when landing you have to come in upwind of the big rock and trees.
Please be safe and be an advanced rider.
