is a long long long drive from the east bay on 25mph roads. Then on weekdays you're greeted with permit parking only, anywhere within 1/2 mile of the lake bed. Fortunately, U can park in the golf course parking & walk 1/2 a mile to get in.It has scattered tall weeds, making landings tricky.
It's a very large area with spectacular views from 400ft, if you've come prepared as we have.
These R all 8 megapixel images. Because we're using a very aggressive takeoff program, sometimes these overshoot to 426ft before settling at 400ft.
Jack, Great photography! You really piqued my interest so I took a drive over there today. I've taken numerous classes at Stanford over the years and never realized they had this gem hidden away so well on campus. I explored every possible parking area around and you're right - the golf course is the only close parking available without a permit. I finally ended up at the driving range and that was a little over a 1/4 mile away. But, what a place to fly! At least 400x400 meters of clear area in a peaceful and remote setting.
The best part were the two boats sitting out on the ground awaiting some water to fill in the dry lake.
