Crash At Half Moon Bar

Medford Mail Tribune:
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were at the scene Monday of a plane crash in a rugged, remote region of Southern Oregon that killed four people over the weekend.

Curry County Marine Deputy Ted Heath said evidence of the Saturday crash, near Half Moon Bar Lodge on the wild and scenic section of the Rogue River, suggests that the 1965 Cessna’s right wing clipped the top of a tree and came apart.
It's a tough strip no matter how you fly it.
