Airstrip...two runways..visible. Overgrown but sections might be useable.

Michael Mayra visited 1 month ago in a PA-18 with 31 tires

Most of what’s left of the N/S runway is a very usable two track. The cedar tree previously reported has now been removed, along with some cacti on the runway. With this upgrade, a couple hundred more feet of usable runway was recovered. No real great turn arounds or parking at either end. Be very cautious there’s plenty of cacti lining the runway.

Cedar tree about one third along landing south to north is tall/big enough to damage right wing, and needs to be avoided. Overall it's narrow but in pretty good shape otherwise. Flowers and surrounding views were excellent.
