Not sure if this was talked about on here so I thought I would post this. Last year the IAA and the Fish & Game teamed up to open a new strip. Last week I got to check it out. Not often to we get a new strip, let alone one in the Frank. FYI, another one is opening in a few weeks! Same sponsors, so look for the announcement!

Looked at the video twice. Looks like a neat place to land, walk around and take some pictures. Probably not too many itchy bugs. As for camping it looks a little barren. But cool that you could share it with us.

Great news and video. Was a Lat/Lon published?

It’s on the chart. It’s across from Mahoney.

Thank you. I see it on the Garmin Pilot VFR chart.

Also on Skyvector and also listed as private.

Two weeks ago in Boise the RAF had a mini conference and one of the speakers was Jessie, she's the biologist who was largely responsible for reopening the strip. She gave a presentation on fish and games reasons for reopening the strip. To Idaho it's all about hunter access. The private designation will go away once all the paperwork is done.

And even though it’s marked private, it’s open to the public like many other private strips.
