48U Greater Green River Intergalactic Spaceport

No, I am not making up the name. I was just looking for somewhere to fly that was pretty close by and I came across this one. I was wondering if any one has been there and what it is like. Airnav describes it as:
- RY SOFT WHEN WET. DEEP RUTS & TALL GRASS FULL LENGTH OF RY.
- ARPT ON TOP OF MOUNTAIN; LAND DESCENDS VERY STEEPLY FROM RWY ENDS.
- NO LINE OF SIGHT BTN RWY ENDS.
- NO SNOW REMOVAL AVAILABLE.
- UNCONTROLLED VEHICLE ACCESS.
- +3 FT BERM NEAR RY EDGES ENTIRE LENGTH

Sounds like fun, huh? They also list only 34 air operations a year. Has anyone been there or are we flying the wrong kind of Craft? :shock:

I was flying close about 2 years ago, so i detoured close enough to see what it really was. There were 3 motorcycles having a race on the runway the day I flew over.

I drop in every few years, the last time was maybe 3 ago. I've always been the only one there. I make sure to fully anounce my attentions in the pattern, using the full name, laughing the whole time.
