Updated Site Guide

Post by charlieg »

Greetings:
An updated Site Guide has been posted to the Members Only section of the website (Word and PDF/Adobe formats). Please let me know if you have any additional suggestions, additions, corrections, or general comments that should be accomodated or addressed.
I've included launch and LZ coordinates for those sites that I've flown. If you have the coordinates for any other sites, please forward and I'll include in the next version.
I've also incorporated within the guide pictures of specific site launch and LZs where they already existed on our web site. Unfortunately this has the result of increasing the storage size of the guide significantly -- so I'm not sure whether we want to include more pictures within the guide, or just put in links to another place on the website that will house the pictures. Let me know your thoughts.
I don't recognize the names of many of the site POCs that are listed. If you know of someone that should be removed as a site POC, please let me know. Also, if you are willing to have your name listed as a site POC, let me know that as well.
Again, many thanks to my predecessors who created and shepherded this document. All I've done is make tweeks. I've examined a lot of site guides that are out there, and ours appears to me to be one of, if not the, best. The only place it scores poorly is in "briefness and conciseness" -- not such a bad thing, I think.

Nice work Charlie,
I like having all of the photos and everything more or less in one place. If the file gets too big we can offer a compressed version.

Yeah, thanks a bunch, Charlie, for taking this on. I have seen site guides integrated into club websites, but they only had a couple/three sites. This goes to show west coasters who ask "you mean you can actually fly back east?" - Hugh
