I was trying to fly to Marble for couple years and finally made it. Approaching from the west at 11 thousand feet.

I was early morning and I decided to land to the west. Plenty of space to turn around and descend to the east. There are some high trees on a hill which could eat some runway. Slip.

Warning; it's not a golf course.

Susan the caretaker met me and pointed to great hiking areas. Jumpstart the Dog marked the wheel fairing.

Taxi the runway full length for takeoff seemed forever. Susan told me she had plenty of RVs landing here both training wheels and tail draggers. My hat is off to you guys that wasn't easy.

Exited toward Aspen, checked in with approach and went to Leadville.

Those who fly for living can imagine how busy is KASE on Sunday afternoon. One way in one way out.
