A few minor bumps and ATV tracks on the runway but nothing our small tires couldn’t handle. Runway is in great condition parking area is also well maintained. There is a porta potty on site that was very useful. We arrived from the east and departed from the east. Even with a minor tailwind on takeoff it made the most sense to utilize the runway that way. If you plan to takeoff toward the west you sure your airplane can handle the rising terrain. Looking forward to going back again soon!

Airstrip is in good condition as it was recently built just this year. Small pebbles and rocks exist on runway. Huge airplane parking area adjacent the strip with tiedowns, chocks, restroom and primative campground. Make a low pass before landing to ensure no livestock are on the airfield.
