Re: 00V - MEADOW LAKE, CO
Do any of you know about this strip between Meadow Lake and Colorado Springs? It also was just over 6,800 MSL and is about 900 feet long if I remember right? It is where I bought my J-3, and the first time I ever flew a J-3.
It has a fair slope going down hill to the west into trees and is cut into the side of a hill, so going off either side could be bad.
