I traded airstrip lists with another pilot. As a result, I discovered that there are nine airstrips in northern NV of which I was previously unaware. I have no idea if these are public or private, or if they are even in suitable condition for landing.

41.8860, -119.0084 name unknown
41.7916, -119.1046 Virgin Valley Ranch
41.5509, -119.0476 Summit Lake
41.5042, -118.7274 Leonard Creek Ranch
41.4825, -117.5323 Paradise Valley
41.7397, -115.9793 name unknown
41.9594, -115.4266 name unknown
41.4055, -114.7646 name unknown
41.2754, -114.2111 Montello

I believe Paradise Valley was once charted, open to the public and owned by the town.
I think it is part of the sewage treatment facility now.
I would not try to land there now without a ground based fact finding trip.
Thanks for the information on the others.
Good luck

Exchanging airstrip files is great idea. In the case of NV, I can provide a Google Earth kmz file with ~20 northern NV and ~60 southern NV airstrips and other potential landing site placemarks. After laboriously cross-referencing them with the BLM Geo Navigator, many have been annotated to indicate whether the property is private, BLM, national monument, national conservation area, etc. Also, some of the placemarks have links to relevant threads on this site and elsewhere.

While my wife's terminal cancer has been keeping me close to home, reading BCP and tracking down potential landing sites has become my way of doing "virtual" backcountry flying.

PM me if you'd like to swap.

I'm sure there are a few people on here with private lists that might take you up on your offer. However, every time I discover an unknown strip I post it on BCP, and then Chris eventually puts them into shortfield.com. Then he sends me a PM encouraging me to enter them into his site, and, well, I never do.

So, the only reason I had something to trade was the ancient curmudgeon I met didn't have a computer and I was showing him shortfield.com. He discovered a couple of strips that were unknown to him, and then he pointed out several strips that he knew about that were missing from the site.

Flight:
Owner of one of the small casinos in Henderson has strip between Battle Mountain and Winnamuca where they fly to several times a month -from BVU .I've been there --- not on map . Paved narrow ,about 3000 ft. long with no windsock-- American Flag for wind. There's 182-210- and R44 that make the trip.

Sorry about you wife, it's good you can be there for her.

Bill - I haven't found that one yet, unless it's 3-4 miles W of Battle Mountain.

Rob - Thanks, there's not a lot more I can do at this point than provide lots of love and support.

I drove home from Elko the loooong way (9 hours rather than 3) today and checked out that one. It sits on The Diamond A Ranch and is posted private. The road runs right along the strip. The wind sock is gone, but the frame is still up. The strip is over grown with sage brush and I would not land on the strip. The road is much better. It's 4.5 miles down the road to the Jarbidge river or a more direct walk is down an extremely steep canyon wall with 1000 vertical feet to the river. The area is amazingly beautiful and the river was begging to be fished, but I had no fishing gear with me. Murphy was in excellent shape. Anyone know of any more strips along the Jarbidge or Bruneau going down stream in Idaho? Really cool area, when I get some time I plan to fly out and explore a little more.

Hey Rob. I just drove through Elko today too. I came up 225 and 51. Maybe we passed each other and didn't even know. I stopped just north of Grasmere for about 15 minutes to see/hear any jets flying around. Heard some really good rumblings of fighter jets above. But I couldn't see because they were above the clouds. Anyway. I was thinking about a road trip back down that way next week through Jarbidge and to Elko and back to Boise with another stop around Grasmere. Will you be back around there next week?

I plan to be at JC next week. I got off at Deeth and was on the dirt clear to Murphy. It was awesome. Big snow drifts across the road on top south of Jarbidge. I'd like to drive from Wild Horse to Jarbidge some day.
