It's on the tighter side for my Commander, but on a cool day (like now in the fall) it shouldn't be a problem. Does anyone know if the hot springs stay hot year round as well?


Someone correct me if I am wrong please.

I believe the strip and hot springs are open 365. The strip has a nice uphill landing and down hill take off. It is a one way strip, except for dead stick Steve.

What ever you do, don't crash. Crashes will get it closed faster than a hippy to free marijuana.

Good day...Rob

Re: Chicken Strip

Your not wrong. The strip and the springs are open 365. I think now it a great time to go as it's not 120-degrees. It's going to be 60-degrees here in the mountains today so I would bet the valley is in the 70's with the water in the springs 90's, makes for a nice day.

Re: Chicken Strip

From our thread about the repair. There are some long term campers there. They would appreciate fresh veggies, bread or fruit. Lizard Lee has pull with the powers. Good will will help. I will bring some next trip down.

Cheers...Rob
