I just received an email from Lakeview Lake County Chamber. They are in the process of making a forum on the website but it's not ready for this season. I should stick with my plan heading down on Tuesday and looking forward to fly either Black Cap or Sugar. Here are some maps and direction of the 5 sites in the area with the itinerary for the Festival of Free Flight this coming weekend.
Here is the website links.
Sites map:
Camp site information:
Lake County Fairgrounds
1900 North 4th Street Lakeview, Oregon 97630

For the best route to Lakeview:
Since I've not flown there, so please don't ask me if you have anymore question.

Btw,
Ray B got the updated information regarding of Sugar Primary LZ situation from Lakeview local pilot Roger Johnson:
The good news is that the landowner has agreed to look at all the insurance info and was interested in “taking up the offer of insurance”. This is a distinct improvement as they have not answered any emails or personal letters that have sent them. He was pretty pissed off last year and not available to talk about it.
So the answer to the question < Is lz officially off limits or just during the 4th?> Yes. Tule has told the Kramers (landowners) that the Chamber will not run the Trophy Dash from Sugar. I think folks that are not experienced at Sugar and/or XC should fly somewhere else. If any one does go into the bail out it would be good to tear down out of sight of the road as much as is possible and do it quick and exit, and more importantly try not to get multiple gliders in the bail out.
It would be nice not to piss the guy off now. Hoping that we will hear from him in time for the festival, but unlikely at this late hour.
