Update 06_13

Crews from the County have been working diligently over the last few weeks to continue to improve the runway and surrounding area. The field is in very good shape and should be flyable for the rest of the season. A huge thanks is owed to the County landfill crew, BLM and the County road crew for working hard to make this all possible.
Along with work being done on the runway, the BLM contracted to have the access road and parking lot improved. This included leveling and grading the parking lot as well as adding a nice layer of good roadbase. It should last for quite some time.

Another look at the parking lot. This is looking Northeast and shows the permanent restroom facility that was installed.

Looking North from the pit area. It is a bit hard to tell from the picture, but the bank of dirt is over 5 feet tall.

Looking South from the pit area. Once again it is hard to see, but the South end of the runway was lowered at least 5 feet. The dirt from the South end was moved to the North in an attempt to make the runway level.

Standing on the West side of the runway looking east across to the pit area. More work was done on the field after this picture was taken so most of the divots and wheel marks have been smoothed over.

Standing in the center of the runway looking South. Once again, more work was done on the field after this picture was taken so the wheel marks are pretty much non-existent.
