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

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.

Completely snow covered. Did not land. Was not sure depth of snow. With skis or bigger tires different story.

Runway was dry and in decent condition except for the east end. Cattle prints pretty deep into the runway. Parking areas really soft sand. Nice and quiet Monday when we flew in.

A lot of standing water around the area and around the island. A nice little area just in front of the island is dry and solid. Out side of that is hard but starting to get soft and tacky mud.

Runway is still in good condition. However on the south end someone did donuts on the runway leaving small ruts. They weren’t to deep but noticeable while taxiing.

Runway was good on the west side. a little soft from the recent rainfall on the east. Down near the Wind sock some deeper cow prints across the runway. Wind sock is in need of repair.

Thanks for this one too Matthew! I was wondering how the recent rains affected this airstrip.
