Sage brush is encroaching about 200 ft on the west end of runway 09. The runway can also be soft and muddy when wet. No snow removal is provided.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-briefing with the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.

This is the kind of strip where a first look from the air and a conservative go-around plan matter more than a normal paved-airport routine.
