Over flew it on Monday it is covered in snow on the North end. Seemed like a lot of snow drift. Did not land.

Landed rwy 9. Has the dip just a little past mid runway. Otherwise runway condition was dry. Parking area good.

Matthew Kalm was at Mexican Mountain
1 week ago in a RANS S-20 Raven with 26” tires

East end of the runway was muddy. If you go in early it should be frozen. The west end was dry and firm. No snow on the runway. Landed just past the muddy area and was fine. parking area is great condition.

Vehicles have worn a pretty deep track in the center of the strip, probably 8” deep in places. I landed on the west side of the track, and it was a little rough and overgrown, but usable. I didn’t see any wild horses today, but the area is inhabited by a small herd of them. Note the lovely stud pile in the foreground of one picture.

Scott Conner was at Fry Canyon
3 weeks ago in a C-182 with 8.50x6 tires

Landed to the south downhill today due to wind. Strip is dry, relatively firm, lots of hoof prints, rabbit brush, tumbleweeds, etc. but still in good condition on the northern portion. Previously mentioned ruts aren’t bad except just north of the access road where they are troublesome. If landing uphill to the north, touchdown 200 feet beyond the crossing access road and you will avoid the wash out/ruts. Still plenty of runway in good condition.

Mike Bay was at Locomotive Springs
3 weeks ago in a Cessna 175 with 8.5"x6" tires

Windsock has been zip-tied already and is in fine working order. Runway is dry and relatively hard, with minor bumps from weed clumps. Yellow paint on the arrow is quite faded now. This would be an excellent spot for a work party to keep our aviation history with this strip alive.

Strip is in good condition, a little rocky but not bad. Walked east 1/3 and cleared rocks.
