Closed?

I was trolling around the interwebs when I came across this...
Is there some sort of permit required to fly High Rock now?

Not as far as I know. High Rock is not flown very often the last few years unfortunately. The only time we are not allowed to fly is when P40 is expanded.

I am guessing, but the writer may have seen the sign at launch that says flying there requires a permit. That sign has been there for quite a while. My recollection is that our club worked out an agreement with the County (which owns launch) some time ago and the sign was a result of that agreement. We are still good to fly there as far as I know.

I sent the website an email to let them know that their information is inaccurate.
