All Airstrip Reports
Strip in good shape. This one can be tricky with winds. Today was nice. Walked down over the hill to snoop around the mine camp. Lots of stuff strewn about. Our favorites...on old upside down car and a lone light bulb still hanging in the middle of the shack. A fun place to explore...just go early as the wind can swirl in there.
The runway IS CLOSED and there is NO CAMPING AREA! Disregard the above indications that the runway and camping area are in great condition. Runway has numerous older diagonal trenches across it. There are no wheel tracks of any sort and it did not appear useable, so I didn't land. But it's a beautiful area with the Green River nearby.
Made a low approach. The overgrown sage brush is up to a foot high on the runway. Rutted need major work. No windsock but wind could be judged from a power plant chimney a mile away. There is an adjacent dirt road which could be used by STOL aircrafts. Interesting vicinities of gilsonite mining. A time freeze from last century.
