Alpine County Airport (M45) is just a hop skip and an RV-jump away from our new home site here in Dayton valley, NV. Just across the border in California, it is just a couple of miles from Markleeville, but seems as remote as you can get. There is nothing but a long paved runway and a tie down area ? plus an unimproved camping area.
This is the view from the edge of the tie down pad:
A fifteen minute downhill bushwhack will take you to a trail heading down a dry riverbed:
Another fifteen minutes of hiking will take you to the payoff ? a beautiful secluded stretch of the upper Carson River:
Sure ? you can drive to the airport ? from our place it would probably be an hour and fifteen minutes. But with an RV magic carpet? In next to no time, you can be communing with the sky, rocks, and water!
Did we mention - there are empty lots at our new airpark?.
