Thomas Atwell visited 8 months ago in a Scout with 31 tires

Runway is in fine shape. Some scrub growing along the edges but no issue. Camped on a cold night.

JAY TOWNSEND visited 10 months ago in a Bearhawk Companion with GY 26 tires

Runway is in very good condition, dry and firm as always. Landed uphill in clam winds, got out at the end of runway 15 for the views and photos. As we here there a bit of a wind started and we took off downhill on 33, taking off uphill on 15 might have been a better idea, be very mindful of a tailwind with the high DA here. Both of out airplanes (the other was a 915 powered Kitfox) are very high performance backcountry planes, but a lessor performance plane might struggle even with that slight tailwind. Always a fun place to visit

Jeanne Henry visited 10 months ago in a Kitfox 7 Sti with 27.5” tires

Stock water troughs are no longer there. The runway was dry and in great shape. Landed on Runway 15 (slight uphill slope) and departed 33.
