As mentioned, the strip is visible but someone...assuming the BLM...went to the efforts of trenching across it in numerous places. It would be interesting to know the story on this one.
Tranches have been plowed across the runway. they have eroded considerably, to maybe a few inches in height and a few inches in depth, may be manageable for large tired planes. Grass is about a foot or two high, some shrubs growing up on the runway. The trenches plowed on the access road are much larger maybe a foot in height and depth. E Main st. runs nearly parallel to the runway and is in pretty good condition and offers approximately 3500ft of length from the bend in the road to the power lines near the first house. This would likely be suitable for landing. This strip has close access to fishing and rafting on a relatively remote stretch Green River and would be great to get back in service.
The runway IS CLOSED and there is NO CAMPING AREA! Disregard the above indications that the runway and camping area are in great condition. Runway has numerous older diagonal trenches across it. There are no wheel tracks of any sort and it did not appear useable, so I didn't land. But it's a beautiful area with the Green River nearby.
