Because of my widely varied experience with obstacles interacting with
crosswinds, I struggle to pick the *best* runway or landing spot. Is it
better to bet on an obstacle reducing the crosswind, or is that obstacle
likely to cause a burble that will result in a rotten (or exciting)
landing? I'm still trying to crack the code on this one...

Thoughts?

Hi KB;

The way I've always handled this and taught others to handle it is NEVER
to fly ANY approach based entirely on expected wind conditions.

Agreed 100%, Dudley.

What's your experience along the following line:

This (insert lengthy experience based finding here) seems to be a workable
rule of thumb for picking a good touchdown point for taking advantage or
minimizing the negative impact of local obstacles to the wind.

Not sure exactly what you are asking here. Can you rephrase the question
sans all literary artifice perhaps? :-)
