Flew into Mineral Canyon and the strip is in good shape. Some grass growing on the south end but nothing too high. The surface was pretty firm and I hardly left any imprint in the sand. Minor ruts in the middle but nothing too bad.

Couple soft spots in the runway but not critical. Overall, it’s perfect.

Runway is firm and wide. Upstream end has some roughness and slight trench. Use a bit of caution on that end. Downstream end is great, stopped for some pictures and a snack.
