A site west of Yamhill. Top-landing and road landing skills required. Print a map (link) that shows the logging roads after you leave Moore's Valley Road and are on Kutch Mt. Rd. This photo shows how steep the hike up the north side would feel if you had to do it. It isn't really that steep.

Here's how to get there:
At hwys. 240 & 47 in Yamhill, set your trip odometer to zero. At Yamhill,
the hwy. name changes from hwy. 240 to Moores Valley Rd.
1) Go west 1.8 miles on Moores Valley Rd. then turn right.
1a) At 4.7 miles, asphalt ends and turns to gravel
2) At 7.7 miles, you will cross Old Moores Valley Rd.
3) At 8.9 miles, turn right at the white rail fence, house and archery
barn. This is labeled Kutch Rd. (note, if you miss this turn you end up on
Meadow Lake Road and be headed, in a roundabout way, to the roads that put
you at Mt. Hebo, Nestucca River, Willhelmina, etc. Bring a lunch.)
4) Go .8 miles then turn right on slightly rougher gravel road.
5) Go 1.2 miles and turn right and you'll see launch in the clearcut that
looks north and east and all over.

This site is not easy to launch or land so don't worry if you are reluctant to fly when you first view it. There are many snags and trees to avoid on landing. Wind from the NW to the E has provided good rides, but the best have been NE thermal days in late summer, so far, with Brett Hardin going 17 miles SE to land at the town of Sheridan.

People experienced at this site:

Jim Donaldson, Andrew Park, Ancil Nance, give 'em a call.
