A few published remarks matter here. Runway end identifier lights and PAPI for 06 and 24 are tied to CTAF. The runway lights are high intensity and can be adjusted on CTAF. Deer and waterfowl are reported in the area. Runway 06 has trees near the departure end. Runway 24 has unmarked high voltage transmission lines about 4,000 ft from the threshold on both sides of centerline.
