A few remarks matter here. Runway 31 has a road in the primary surface near the departure end. Ultralight traffic is on and in the vicinity of the airport. A yellow box on the ramp is reserved for the medical helicopter. Watch for rotor blast near tiedowns. Waterfowl and jackrabbits are also reported near the runways. The runway lights and approach lighting are activated or brightened by keying the CTAF, so brief your lighting plan before night or low-vis arrivals.
