The field itself is 400 ft by 1100 ft of fairly flat ground. It is surrounded by a large recovery area comprised of low, rolling hills covered mostly in sage brush. The nearest settlements are a couple of miles away and are generally farms. Road access to the field is dirt only. Caution: The dirt roads can become slippery and rutted after it has rained and been traversed by numerous vehicles. Be very careful, especially if your vehicle has minimal ground clearance. Launch Site Map
Tips on using the Launch Site Map:The map will be larger than your display. When it loads (assuming you are using MS Internet Explorer as your browser), your cursor (after you click it somewhere in the window) will turn into a small magnifying glass with a "+" inside. By moving the cursor to any spot on the map and clicking it, the map will be enlarged, centered on your cursor, to allow more detail. You can also use Internet Explorer's Zoom feature to further enlarge the image (from the drop down menu, select View, Zoom, and a percentage...just remember to set it back to 100% when you're finished). Ctrl + and Ctrl - work nicely as well. Scroll by using your scroll bars (or the cursor left, right, up, and down keys). After you have the map centered on a selected spot and adjusted to the desired zoom level, and you want a hard copy, do the following: Depress F11. Then Depress Alt PrtScrn to capture the image. Now, restore your original window by moving the cursor to the top of the screen (your information bar will reappear) and clicking on the Restore icon (two interlaced squares on the upper right). Next, bring up MS Word. Change the page orientation to landscape and then paste (Ctrl v) the captured image on the page. Then Print as you normally would (Ctrl p).
