Used to operate in a 172 out of there one summer in the 90's. Never had a problem landing or taking off, up or down hill. I witnessed some of the worse approaches ever flown, usually in calm weather. a school I trained with banned pilots from going there due fear to the power lines (I think they may be underground now), in my opinion if you were going to hit the power lines landing you were never going to make the runway in the first place. It does bring back great memories of the place though.
