LOWER MINERAL BOTTOM CLOSED!!!

After careful consideration and with the consultation of several other backcountry pilot members it has been unanimously agree that lower mineral bottom (aka: the sand bare just down steam :wink: ) is closed!!

While members with 48" bushwheels on a 200 HP ultra light may have some success [-o< , generally speaking its not very usable and members will have more fun and a much shorter, cleaner, better smelling day if they just land at the regular strip :P

Use of lower mineral bottom also appears to greatly increases your chances of losing your flying buddies :P,
as well as inviting extensive and well deserved ridicule! #-o

Looks like a gorgeous day to fly and I agree… no harm no foul. :D

Actually there is a slight foul in that you didn't obtain permission to call it a sand bar- :shock: :shock: :shock:
