Anyone know anything about the Ant Hill site near Bakersfield, CA? Located at N 35.4279 W 118.886.

Sure do, know all about it including what's required to keep from getting a $500.00 citation. The info is current as of about 60 days ago, but the land is in a transition that may put the entire property into Kern County Parks Recreation control. I'll also tell you how many pilots I know that have been injured and killed there.

It's a pretty neat 600 ft. hill with a pretty vast landing area. There are times when it could be considered a novice site, and can quickly become an intermediate or advanced site. Combine that with a lack of supervision and management, and it's easy to understand why so many hang glider pilots have been hurt there.
Give me a personal email or phone call and I'll discuss it.

Joe,

Thanks for the info.
