Wendy Lessig visited Ibex / Tule Valley Hardpan 3 months ago in a PA-12 (like a supercub, only better) with 8.50 tires

Windsock is tattered, but it is doing its job and it is visible. There is a large fire ring made from rocks on the south side of the island on the playa where planes usually park. It was in good condition and easy to see & avoid while taxiing. No pile of nails from burnt pallets, or anything like that. There is a second rock fire ring on the northeast side of the island on the playa. The playa surface looked tan, like it might be wet, but it was actually hard, but damp enough to not create dust.

Cory Wolf visited Mexican Mountain 3 months ago in a C205 with 850 tires

The runway and parking areas are in great condition. The camping/parking areas are currently nice and compact. Some cow pies on the strip with a herd of cattle a half mile off the east end of the strip...so some livestock to keep an eye out for.
