UT91 Mackie Ranch in southern Utah isnt safely usable at this time. It will clean up in a good weekend of work but it wont likely be dry enough until late April to get in and fix it. We stuck in this morning with the help of an overnight freeze to firm up the mud. Friends of Mackie Ranch Airfield - UT91

As a new member of UBCP and my first report, the airstrip was very good. Perhaps a little soft with the recent grading. Thanks you for the grading. The windsock was good to have with the crosswinds. This was our first off airport landing with the Kodiak. A big Thank You for allowing us to visit from Cedar City.

Rain damage to the runway and vegetation growth has been repaired. Small stones and surface dust still persist. Runway perimeter fence has been completed so livestock is no longer a runway hazard.

Runway was bladed, raked and rolled this weekend. All rain ruts from winter have been graded smooth. Some small rocks and stones persist on the native dirt runway surface. Open for use. Not recommended for landing if wet. New runway fence will be completed this week finalizing the airfields separation from the rest of the ranch preventing livestock from entering the runway. Campfires permitted until it gets too dry. Firewood and fire ring are there at the parking apron.
