"North Plains 1OR4 is a gliding club strip west of Portland. The field operates on weekends under the supervision of the local gliding club and is exclusive to gliders and their tow planes, powered aircraft may land at the field but only with permission. The field operates two parallel runways separated by traffic cones; take-offs are typically done on the north runway out to the east and landings are done on the south runway to the west In the event of the wind shifting directions, the field is reversed and all aircraft movements are done over the power lines and trees that border the west end of the runway. There is a thermal to the west of the field at the highway split and this is the house thermal typically used to start flights."
