La Sal Junction Airport

Landed this on my way back from IBEX to check it out. Construction on the west end near hangar but the entire east end of the strip is usable past the dirt road intersection... looks to be about 1,800+ feet up to the turnaround past the dirt road intersection. Inclines to the east.

Flew over but didn't land. Strip looked to be in decent shape. However, abeam the buildings, there were two backhoes working and one of them was on the strip. Still plenty of room to land before that point but just be aware they are doing something to that whole area between the strip and the buildings.

Runway has been improved with all the brush gone. Land beyond the road accross the runway on the west end. Windsock on east end not on a pole.

Only eastern half really usable. Western half fairly well grown over; brush in center of runway close to 2' high. Soft dirt composition even when dry and on the 'rough' side taxiing with my 8.50s. Definitely wouldn't go in there with any smaller of tires. Windsock mounted to main building on the west side of rwy. Notable upslope (2-3 degrees?) landing east. Takeoff downhill west very nice. The turn around on the east side is massive and the best place to park in hindsight. There is a small parking area mid-rwy but it also serves as a gate/road off the airport so parking there could conflict with ground vehicles. Biggest thing I found was to plan where to turn around... only good place is on the very east end of the runway. Elsewhere there are either notable size sage brush along the runway edge or fairly deep drainage ditches running on either side. For aircraft like cubs probably not an issue to man-handle; but pushing that -180 around was a challenge.
