Where are you digging up such erroneous thoughts? 
 
With 800/3 you'll be way outside CULVE when you see the runway. That's the  
difference between the pros that were landing without any fan fair and you,  
without a clue.

Karl, 
 
You are misreading the chart. 
 
The underlined 1120 at CULVE means that is the minimum altitude at that 
location. 
 
IF you can identify CULVE, then AFTER passing CULVE you may descend to 
680', but not before. 
 
The * next to CULVE means only that if the Tower is closed, DME is 
required.  The * does not change the 1120 to 680. 
 
Also, it is not in accordance with TERPS to allow a 680' minimum altitude 
at CULVE with the nearby 863' tower.
