Most of the runway is in great shape. There are some car ruts on the northern end. Not deep enough to cause us a problem but smaller tires might have a bigger problem

Did pattern work, repeatedly landing to the north. 15 kts from the north created significant sink rate right before the cliff. Great practice for this rookie.

I flew low over the airstrip. There were multiple ruts along most of the runway. It looked like a skilled pilot might be able to land between the ruts. Instead of relying on the skill that I may not have, I chose to rely on judgment, and didn't land. The damage is probably best repaired with a grader.

Overflew enroute to Mexican Mountain. Landing surface is useable, but there are shallow truck/4x4 ruts (mostly on the North end.)

My son and I stopped here on our way to Happy Canyon to camp. We stopped to replace the windsock while we waited for some friends. We got the new sock put up. The strip was in great shape. Smooth and firm.
