>>>>>['Zup TR? Have I got a deal for you! I'm gonna need somebody
with your special skills and equipment here in the next few weeks.

I still don't have many details, but I'm gonna need you for regular
cargo flights. I'm not sure about destinations, yet, but I'd like
you to relocate down here, if ya can, for the time being.

When things get firmed up, I'm gonna need you to deliver all sorts
of fun, exciting, deadly, and oh, yeah, illegal stuff for me. I'd
like you to come to CFS just so you can be closer for deliveries.

SF International is outta the question, so I've been poking around
some of the California Geologic Survey maps for another place to
land. Somewhere way the hell out in the boonies.

And have I found it. About 240 klicks north of San Fran (or about a
hundred klicks shy of the buffer zone, depending on if yer a pessemist
or not) there used to be the Round Valley Indian Reservation (back
before the Indian Wars). Since all of the indians skipped over to
the NAN, the reservation lay abandoned for a while. A group of free
traders started flyin' out of its airfield around the time of the Tir
succession. They smuggled people in and out of the Tir for about six
months before a Great Dragon flamed them down.

Anyway, I called up some more detailed maps and this place looks
perfect. Like the name says, its just a round valley a thousand
meters or so up in the mountains. The valley's about six klicks
across with an airfield up in the northeastern corner. The airfield
(which has been up there for about a century, so don't worry about
poeple getting curious) looks about a klick long. The problem is
gonna be terrain. The strip's about three hundred meters out onto
the floor of the valley. The valley walls go up about 650 meters in
less that 600 meters horizontally right north of the strip. You'll
have about 4500 meters clear to the south.

Now, also in the valley is the ghost town of Covello. Everybody I've
checked with (mostly state government agencies) say that nobody has
lived there since the formation of the NAN. Looks to be about a
hundred abandoned buildings on the valley floor, centered on Covello.

Here, let me dump the maps I've found on you.
