At the end of this long last glide we may be low, but Brian Ranch provides good insurance 5 miles short of the finish. There are several other small ultralight strips closer and out to the right, but they are too narrow for long-winged sailplanes.

This view gives a hint of the poor visibility we may have on a late return, looking into hazy sunlight.

In some cases the aquaduct is the best way to determine the direction of your final glide.
