Zoom out and look around, all the airstrips will show up on the map. Zoom in to make it less cluttered.

Mineral Canyon sure looks like a nice place to get away.

Smith Creek Dry Lake about 30 miles SW of Austin, NV with it's nice little hot spring over on the SW side of the dry lake. Flew over yesterday, and the dry lake is still wet on that side now, but within about three weeks, it'll be all dry, (with no more moisture). Runway is about 15 miles long and 10 miles wide, and, I guarantee everything you take home will be white.... Including yer bird. It's good for the soul tho, not a light in the valley, and only the sounds of an occasional coyote...
