Did a flyby of Sam's Mesa N to S. The strip looks mostly overgrown and sandy with a slightly crooked two track running down it. Some work could probably get it usable for some bigger tire planes especially more towards the southern end. This is an amazing and remote area. Here is a video of it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/FLTw97PGdmCSecYMA

Wendy Lessig visited 11 months ago in a Mooney with tiny tires

Sam’s Mesa is co-located on the BLM road that leads to Happy Canyon Overlook. There are ATV tracks that wiggle down the middle of the airstrip, probably indicating that the soil might be uneven or soft. This airstrip is mentioned as an airstrip in the Henry Mountains TMP and might be a good candidate to work with the BLM on a plan to make the airstrip more useable.
