Charlotte Lake airstrip

Anybody been in to the old strip on the SE end of Charlotte Lake lately? Curious if it is landable. Probably a few Charlotte Lakes around, this one is near Nimpo Lake. Strip is on the old Rimarko ranch.

Re: Charlotte Lake airstrip

It didn't look too bad the last time I was over it...but that was at FL250 :D .

I'm headed to my place out that way at the end of July with the Pacer. I could race over and have a look for ya.

The East-West Strip on the North end of Nimpo is in good shape. I have been in and out of there a few times this year. There is talk that the North-South strip will be getting brushed out in the next while here too...I think I got volunteered for that.

Stop in at Nimpo on the August long weekend and we chase some mountains!

Been out there on the quad (couple yrs ago). Ditch (erosion) approx. mid field, and plenty of crud laying around. Have a good look, and wear big boots. Might get a visit from the "watchman" couple miles away.

"Fishing is better at Nimpo"...except for this year...this year the mosquitoes are so bad that they're picking off trout just like the Ospreys do! And never mind that they're flirting with your Super Cub...they prefer the petite girls ya know :D!
