Runway surface in good condition and solid. However, a little bit uneven on the North-East end as mentioned in last report.

First ~500' of R33 is a bit muddy with some snow yet to melt; middle and NW parts have dried. Cattle footprints have caused widespread ~2” holes and bumps along R33 to the parking area, not an issue for my 850s, just not as smooth as it was in the fall.

Really fun strip. Plenty of room for my 90 horses to get me off the ground. It’s in great shape, I’d say it’s smoother than the gravel strip at CNY. The mentioned “white pole in cairn” is gone on the south end, but it’s fairly obvious you don’t want to touch down in the weedy southern 100’.

I know, it was Friday the 13th! Couldn’t pass up landing here on the way home from Moab. Great strip by the river. Clean camp sites and runway in good shape. Runway turns to softer sandy on the north 1/3. Landed 33, took off 15. Cool, fast climbing day! Love the little Husky!

The strip was firm and smooth. Didn't notice any soft spots and there is minimal grass or weed growth.
