David Gallant visited 2 months ago in a Exp PA11 with 29" Bushwheels tires

Rain runoff damage from the north down to approximately mid strip. Possibly landable with 29s or larger, but ruts are deep enough to limit directional stability on the ground. Ruts are deepest to the east side of the strip, but do cross to the center line. Camping area looks great. Ruts are deeper than the images depict.

Nathan Kurth visited 6 months ago in a Super stinson with 31 tires

Overall airstrip is landable but needs attention as erosion has overflown the drainage ditch on the east side and crept into runway area-see pic. Need to land and stay west side of strip.

Craig Gustafson visited 8 months ago in a Carbon Cub EX-3 with 31" tires

Long, soft dirt runway (1526') that slopes uphill to the north. Best to land towards the north and take off to the south if wind allows. Quite wide at about 55'. Could use a windsock. There's a little rain rut that crosses the runway about 400' from the southern end, best to land north of that.
