Strip is in good condition, a little rocky but not bad. Walked east 1/3 and cleared rocks.

No apparent change from previous reports. Mind the rocks and bumps. Slight side slope. Redtail uses this strip to drop off rafters.

Strip is in the same condition as mentioned in previous reports, mind the sandstone "tiles" on the West side of the airstrip. There's more than plenty good dirt and gravel on the rest of the strip.

Some 3” exposed sandstone ledge edges in spots. Nothing you can’t rollover, just be aware.

West 1/3 of runway is fairly ruff while remainder is in decent condition. Runway is dry and no snow in area. Windsock is in great condition.
