Austin Nevada AP (TMT): Electricity and Crapper Working?

I just got a sudden urge for some solitude in the middle of Nevada, at 5,535 feet, before it turns wet again. A few months ago when I was there, a retired school house (two trailers actually) had been set up at the field, as a pilot's lounge, with tables, chairs and some furniture--but no electricity or plumbing, yet...

Does anybody know (does Joe "Pops" Dory patrol this Forum?) if:

1. The lights are now on?

2. The toilets are now working?

3. The well still has drinkable H2O?

3. The key is still in the lock box, with an intuitive code that any enterprising pilot would quickly guess?

If so, watch out for a plastic airplane over there! Thanks!

If you're looking for an answer now. I believe the water and power would still be today. It was back during the fly in in August.

I'm not sure about drinkable water, though. I'm sure Pops will chime in soon.

FWIW, I always, ALWAYS have drinkable water with me, no matter where I'm going, even if it's just around the homedrome patch. I guess I've been too many places where the water is questionable. When camping, I can filter the water if need be.

Pops is on a mountainside in Nevada at the moment sleeping under the stars with his Cub. =D>
