[Co-opa]Crescent Lake

[Collins Hemingway]

I've been to Crescent Lake since the runway improvements (on the ground, in
a car). Until they cut back the trees, I still would use it only for an
emergency landing. Folks that approach and land real slow are probably OK
but it still looks dicey to me. Not only do you have to fly in over trees
but trees crowd right up to the runway on the sides.
