The runway is a pretty soft after the rain and snow and a bit weedy but not bad. It is a very long strip. Where the road crosses runway it is rough from the berms and I would recommend not landing in that area. We landed to the N right near the windsock which is on the west side of the runway about mid-field . Runway slopes up slightly to the N and it appeared that slope is steeper on the southern end of the runway. Very interesting ruins to see at the canyon overlook to the east.
Landed to the south downhill today due to wind. Strip is dry, relatively firm, lots of hoof prints, rabbit brush, tumbleweeds, etc. but still in good condition on the northern portion. Previously mentioned ruts aren’t bad except just north of the access road where they are troublesome. If landing uphill to the north, touchdown 200 feet beyond the crossing access road and you will avoid the wash out/ruts. Still plenty of runway in good condition.
A few deep hoof prints. Kinda soft but not bad. Not too many tracks. I am sure with more traffic it will get packed down. Opted to land uphill (32) with a tailwind. Waited until after the road that crosses the runway to touch town. There is a deep cut in the runway on the right side from the road avoid that. If you need the to cross the road cheat to the west.
