CAUTION: Barbed wire fence across airstrip about halfway down the strip!! It's still possible to land with STOL capabilities. The airstrip itself is in decent shape but not a great location other than some rock formations that could be explored by foot about 1/2 mile to the SW of the strip.

 

Maybe a candidate for a work party and a windsock.

Overflew. Lots of bushes and growth. There is a fence crossing right through the middle of the strip. Would need some major work to re-open this strip...I would say unlandable by any aircraft without damage.
