Save the Tollhouse launch

Our Tollhouse flying site is about to be permanently closed. The
U.S. Forest Service is closing the road that gets us to the take-off. We are
starting an email writing campaign to ask the Forest Service to open the road to
take-off again. Please ask anyone who has ever flown there or anyone who wants
to fly there, to write a message and email it to the Forrest service as
instructed below: Thanks for getting the word out!
Tollhouse is a 2000 foot vertical California launch site. Summer conditions
regularly allow three to four thousand foot gains above launch. Site record is
6500' above, as far as I know. Many cross country flights were made from there
to the north and to the south, up to fifty miles, and regularly has a great
2000 foot above evening glass off in the summer. This is a wonderful site and
should not be allowed to go by the way side, just because someone wants to lock
a gate. Please take the time to write a letter and call the Forrest service
office to tell them to keep the road open:
