Approaching the DNL field, colored red, as you fly along Scotts Valley Rd.
You can see Lakeport in the distance.
You are facing southeast, 4000ft. MSL

Closer to the field.
You are facing southeast, 3000ft. MSL

Looking at the field from the other end.
You are facing northwest, 2000ft. MSL. The DNL field is 1380 MSL.
The large (yellow) field on this end of the DNL field, on the south side of the access road, looks like it can be used for emergency landings.
IT CAN'T!. As the owner of this field states:
"Please inform the gliders/flyers that the power lines crossing our property are Lakeport's high voltage transmission lines. The barbed
and electric fences and cross fences, used to divide the land into grazing cells for a commercial livestock operation, cross the land in many places."

Another view of the area. You're at 6000 ft. MSL, looking west.
The DO NOT LAND field is shown in red. The CAN'T LAND field is shown in yellow.
You'll notice that there are other possible emergency landing fields in the area. If you find yourself having to land, look for a
spot that won't endanger you or upset landowners. Better yet, make sure you're at 6000 ft., and you won't have to worry about landing!
