Cheesehead....
Just as long as everyone is bemoaning their launch sites, etc., allow me to continue the rant....
Yeah, we have very thorny stuff that grows here when and if we don't chew it down to it's nubs. The stuff grows over head-height and will TEAR you up, not to mention the wings with it's 2 - 3-inch long needle-like thorns.
If those woody 'weeds' are not kept down for a month or so, one needs a brush axe and good physical endurance to clear 'em, 'cause a mere weed eater without a steel blade will not touch them. Heck, me and my brush axe are faster than me and my bladed, farm-sized, 4-stroke Stihl weed eater when attacking these bastards.
I've been out west. Seen the stuff that (barely) grows. Ha. I know you guys have it easy. And then take a look at your thermals! Jeez! Totally envious!
Even your LZ's are (comparatively) gigantic and mostly flat (from what I've seen), and with few trees! How f'ing awesome! You guys complain too much. Come out East.....you'll gain a new appreciation for your own sites.
