I don't see a strip Piperpainter, but it looks like a landable area. Could land on the road and hike in for further evaluation.

You guys didn't keep us posted. :mrgreen: [-X

Did any of you ever do the 5 mile hike up to the strip area? Dying to know. Looks like a great hike.
The subject of Big Indian has come again here: http://www.backcountrypilot.org/forum/l ... 4?start=40 On page 3

There were so many Lat-Long posted ( and in different formats ) that it took me some digging to pin them to G-Earth.

Thanks for any info you can provide.
