Ok, more seriously. Nothing jumped out at me demanding that this airport be treated as a one way. What did I miss?

You missed the power lines apparently. Note that due to heat and humidity folks departing in 150s fly between the trees and along the river on the departure. If you have a performance for a Viking departure, then I suppose it's of no concern for you :-)

I have not flown there on a high DA day but, I have been told that everyone uses this as a one way because of the powerlines and that the bluff has had numerous bent planes into its side. On high DA days, they say follow the river. The C172 I flew down there didnt have any issues on the day I flew and it gained plenty of altitude to get over the bluff. But if it appeared to me that it was going to be close, I would have just made a slight right turn along the river.

Yup, that must be it. Thanks guys.

I went in the legal way and the powerlines were to far to see.
