I know we talked about posting rules for each field a while back, but can't find any...maybe I am the first. Here goes. I am posting this with an eye to figuring out a standard format as well. Thus I WILL be editing this sticky as needed. Right now its a bit unorganized but I just wanted to get everything written down. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Directions: From 100 Mile House, turn East on Canim Hendrix lake Road. Drive 10 km to Thorstein Rd (forth left). If you pass PineValley Road (on left) or Buffalo Creek Elementary School (on left) you have gone too far. Follow Thorsteinson road up (in elevation) until it turns sharply to the left, and changes its name to Ridge View Rd. Follow this up (in elevation) until it intersects Hilltop Rd. Turn Right. Drive up(in elevation) Hilltop Rd. We are only driveway on right. Main entrance is marked with '5913 Hilltop' in a log sign and is 2 km from Canim Hendrix Lake Road-Thorsteinson turnoff. Also there is a 100 foot tower (light at night) marking property for those parachuting in. You may be greeted by a retriever. He is extra friendly and will not bite (unless you are an ass-hat). Park on the road if there is some question. Setup area is in front of house.
