History
I don't know the whole history of the site but I know I fly everyday with the only guys who ever flew across the whole Sierra Mountain range (true giants in my opinion.)
Geography/Meteorology
Multiple mountains to fly but rice mountain is where the launch is located.
Clubs/Owners/Manager
The site club is the Mother Lode Sky Riders. The launch is private property and the LZs are parkland. Dan Venamen is the club president.
