Run way is in great shape, there are a few soft areas that are developing as the terrain dries out, wouldn't land with 5-6 inch tires at this time.

Bret Kobe visited Spiral Jetty 3 weeks ago in a Cessna 170B with 26 tires

In great condition, the goat head thorns are getting bad out there so be careful if you have thin tires, the Desser 4 ply will puncture with these.

Marc Lassaux visited Winter Ridge 1 month ago in a ICP Savannah S with 21 tires

Winter Ridge is in good shape. Some bigger sage vegetation on runway, but mainly on the eastern side. It is pretty easy to avoid the vegetation on the runway. Vegetation height on the edges of the strip is 4 feet or a little taller in some spots. Many wild horses in the area.

Marc Lassaux visited Bull Canyon 1 month ago in a ICP Savannah S with 21 tires

Bull canyon getting some vegetation growth on the strip but not bad. Beware of a metal stake in the ground with 2 rocks around it to mark it in the NE turnaround. It sticks up a ~2 inches. It is near the NE inside edge of the loop. Bull canyon getting some vegetation growth on the strip but not bad.

Stopped in to camp for the night. Met the owners Eric and Lisa. Great people, generous and accommodating. They are doing everything they can to make a great hangout place. The car is great and A/C works . Bathroom facilities are also great. We had a fun time with them. Beautiful views from the property and an easy approach from both ends. Thanks guys!
