Over half of the runway is under several inches of water. Only the two ends of the runway are above the water level.

I landed on 32 and landed a bit long as the beginning of 32 looked soft. Turnaround at the north end was nice and firm.

Good runway, parking is great. If I’m picky, the runway is a little uneven and soft at the north end. For heavy aircraft with small tires that might be tricky. Gusty crosswind around mid day. Great spot!

The runway is dry and in great shape. The southern end is sandy and somewhat soft as previously reported. This was my first time into the strip, what a beautiful area...stunning.

RWY was in good condition on the northern end near the windsock, the southern end had some soft surface for about the first 200’. Best to land beyond. There were a few ruts on the northern end, but nothing to really be concerned about.
