Did you ever see that kind of behavior from the Park Rangers at any of your sites? If you had, then you'd "get it".

Over the years, I've heard many many suggestions on how people could fly at Torrey Pines without using the City Park property. These include towing up from the beach, using a powered harness, launching from an aircraft carrier, dropping from a balloon, and now launching from some other "local" site and hoping for a miracle to make it to Torrey Pines.
Let me use an analogy. Imagine that you bought a brand new Tesla fully loaded for $75,000, and it simply didn't run. Of course, you would take it back to the dealer/manufacturer and demand your money or a replacement. If they refused, you might start taking other actions ... including posting about it on your local consumer web site. How would you feel if someone on that site posted this reply:
I don't understand your problem, just buy a horse, and tow it around.That's what your suggestion sounds like to me. The City of San Diego owns the Torrey Pines Gliderport. They know that they have a defective situation where pilots are excluded from using that site because they testified in court against the business. That's what needs to be fixed. All of these other suggestions are nice, but even if they were practical (which they aren't) they wouldn't solve the real problem. But thanks for trying.
