Be Aware of Canyon winds and density altitude. Runway 14 has a 1.7% uphill grade and several uneven “humps”. Use caution, the southern 3rd of the runway has a rut developing (several inches wide and deep by 80ft long) in the center of the runway (see picture). Parking area contains old mining debris, park with caution. No water or facilities near the airstrip.

Not much snow. Still usable for some, not me. The two track road on the east side looks like it’s received significant traffic.

Runway in good shape. We walked the full length and nothing significant to report. Both windsocks are in good shape. Vehicles are doing a good job staying off the runway. Camping sites are not well developed but will definitely work. Great hiking to North end overlooks into the canyon.

Yesterday early AM. Would have been perfect if Jack the wandering lab would have not done a walkabout. The delayed departure presented some Xwind uphill take off experiences I’d rather have not had! The other doggie remembered his previous cactus experiences here and walked in my footsteps. A really pleasant morning. I thought I came up with a new arch to the SE. It seems like I’m the only person that did not know of Juanita Arch in Little Maverick Draw.

All in good shape. Two track down east side of runway is experiencing significant use, but no ruts. Winds spilling off LaSals came up pretty fast at 0825 hrs.
