We didn’t get to Johnson Creek in June, weather.
Just there week before last, and yeah, we got run out early due to forecast incoming weather.
I know we all love Johnson Creek (I did), but I'll highly recommend Garden Valley (https://www.airnav.com/airport/U88) as a base. Not crowded, great facilities, courtesy car, top notch grocery store and breakfast restaurant 3 or 4 miles away. Strip was in excellent shape. One way in and out, but uphill, with a clear approach. Only downside is the locals have a shooting range nearby and use it.
Plenty of rocks, soft dirt, and gopher holes at Smiley. Go over there, fly the Sawtooth wilderness, then go back to GV.

Dan, do you think Garden Valley would be Ok for nose wheel RVs?
Thanks

Dan how long did it take you to get there? I’m 6.5 from Fredericksburg.
Left Friday morning, didn't make Idaho until Tuesday afternoon. Had fun along the way.
Probably 8.5 direct.
When I decided to go home, it was evening in Los Angeles. I was at my own table for dinner next day. Magic machine.
Spent the night out on the ramp at Casa Grande, bedded down under the stars next to the airplane. Nice desert breeze, about 80F, dry as toast. Very pleasant.
Had I known you were in Casa Grande I would have offered a cold beverage and a cooler place to sleep than the ramp.
Favorite Johnson Creek shot.

I’m gonna remember this……
