Highview can be hard to find, but the best landmark is Summit Point Motorsports Park. The photo I uploaded was taken looking down RW 27 right over the race track complex.

If you use Foreflight on the iPad, the airport can be found with the above Lat Long and setting a waypoint. Can then toggle back to Sectional.

In typical fashion, Jim was doing a fine job officiating his own B-Day fly-in!
I had to bug out early but there was already 10 RV's, a Super Decathelon, and a Bell Ranger!
Pictures will follow

It was a good time, good food, and good company. Thanks again Jim for hosting and hopefully I'll see everyone at my fly-in soon.

I arrived a bit later this time. Had to check out a brand spanking new PIC and an RV enthusiast. If he could land an RV with nose wheel on Jim's grass strip anybody can. Gary was that you calling me slow? 
It was great time as usual. I've heard there was a bombing range setup near Jim's hangar and everybody did well.
Mike, I am still laughing at that joke
Guys come up north on Aug 1st on Fred&Tim private strip by Syracuse NY. Take your passports we may end up in Canada for the night

Fun times at Jim's Birthday Bash at Cedar Meadows yesterday. I think Vlad wins the award for keeping his nosewheel off the ground for the longest duration during a landing:

But that's not hard to do since he was the only nosedragger in attendance!
It's been a while since I last saw my good friend Vlad - Rangely, ME nearly 2 years ago?
A great day with an outstanding group of RV'ers.

Thanks Bill.
Is it an illusion, or is there something funky with Vlads horizontal stabs in the last picture?

It's an illusion Chris. Lens parallax. 
I wonder what that Jim's finger means?
