A few remarks matter here. Runway 23 has unlighted obstructions near the approach. A fence and road sit about 200 ft from the runway end. There is also an unlighted 15-foot road 90 ft from the end and 250 ft right of centerline. Runway 10/28 markings are faded. The beacon is out of service indefinitely. The runway lights are preset to low intensity from dusk to dawn. Use CTAF to increase lighting intensity and to activate taxiway lights, runway end identifier lights and the PAPI systems.
