Dersch Rd Shingletown . About 10 acres MROS .
Camera cross puts it about here:
Pretty flat, some continuous live oak/gray pine, but no real topo for it to run up onto right off the bat.
Gullies to the east could be problematic if it makes it that far, but not much else is going on, so they’ll have pretty much unlimited air power and a major tanker base within 20 miles. Looks like the Coulson C-130 is over it now.
