Drove to it in my truck. Runway is solid. But with lots of bumps from the rocky terrain. I would totally land here in my scout.

Landed to the east, first half of the airstrip is a bit rocky and bumpy, even with 26 inch tires. Plenty of room to land on the back half, however. Overall in decent shape. Crosswinds were challenging on takeoff and landing.
