[LASS Soaring] Frankfort slope site

[GordySoar at aol.com]

Actually Hank,

We've cut trees almost every season and will be cutting some  more.
Hill erosion is accelerated by the wind working trees back and forth, their  
roots losen the soil, allowing water to soften the hillside compaction.
 
Now on the other hand, try to use a little subtlety when running saws up  
there and don't leave a mess and don't leave stumps.

Dan,  
The slope is on State property and the folks in the building (Public  Service 
Commission) adjacent to the site might observe you "destroying" the  slope.  
I would advise you to not "trim" or cut around the area because  if the State 
of Kentucky gets offended and decides to fence off that area to  stop access, 
we (LASS & BSS) will have lost a great opportunity.  I  believe the LASS and 
Bluegrass Soaring Society (BSS) only have access to that  slope because we have 
kept in the good graces of the Kentucky property  managers.
Just one man's opinion.

Hello 
My name is Dan Young . I live in Bowling Green KY, I was able to visit  the 
Frankfort site today and It looks like it would make some nice big air.  I have 
four small slope sites around BG but nothing like this. It reminded  me of my 
old hang gliding days. My friend and myself are planning to  come up the next 
weekend that it blows south. I was wondering if  it would be OK to do some 
trimming of the trees and  bushes around the launch area. I now it would need to 
be supervised  by a LASS member. I  rock climb and have the gear to do  it 
safely. If you guys would like our help just let me know and  we will bring the 
gear up when it is soarable. I sure wish I  lived closer to Frankfort.
Thanks
Dan
