Dirty Devil backcountry airstrip Utah. Decent surface. Come and go in the morning when it's cool. No phone signal.
I don't think there will be much interest. Several years ago I found a fossilized phytosaurus in a sandstone while hiking in Wyoming. Told our archeologist and mentioned to a dyno museum folks. Nobody cared plenty of those reptiles around. Came a year later and chiseled out an ankle. Gave it to a local kid collecting the bones.
Tons of petrified trees you can't even move those stone chunks.

Vlad,
Good story. I was think of the Nazca Plateau lines that look like runways.

Mt. Shasta, on the way to Sunriver for (6) days of mountain biking.
A smooth and pleasant flight down the Owen’s Valley this morning….Mt. Whitney never fails to disappoint! The drive to Big Bear Lake from Carson City is 8 hours…in Tsamsiyu? Two hours and ten minutes…and that’s going around the Edward’s complex! Time Machines….
Imogene Pass, September 2024. Regular, non-motorized, bike. (3) more passes ahead.
Beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing!
One of Jay Pratt's RV-8s on its first flight (N46RX), orbiting T67. I'm flying chase.
Lotta heart in that 'ol plane..........and guy.

Fuelling up at ZBB around 630am, before flying home after getting off work the evening before. I don't like getting out of bed early unless its flying on a nice smooth and quiet morning!

Nice pic! And yeah, I like dawn patrol flying, but dang it’s hard to get up early to go do it…
Picture of my oldest daughter on her first flight with me. It was short with the rain coming in but a great experience going up with her.

Flew to Lake Powell for a morning hike. Temps are already in the 80ies.
Two miles down by the marina there is a corner store with everything in it.
An air conditioned bathroom and visitor center are conveniently located between the airstrip and the store.
They even have a commuter.

Just curious - what is the significance of the "23" on the Fuse, Andy?

Took my buddy up for his first RV flight. He loved it. This was the post flight picture after I got N599DT all cleaned up.

Colorado stunning! GREAT example of our glacial geology! Carved out during the Pinedale glacial period 22,000 to 13,000 years ago. A lot of geology has happened here since then as well! I've been to that airport on the ground; have never landed there. Not for the faint-of-heart....!

Love that paint scheme!
Actually Michael I found the airport relatively easy on approach, landing and take off. Johnson Creek easy. The grass runway was excellent in August 2021.
I remember this day very well. Can't believe it's almost 20 years ago.
