Re: Northern California's Lost Coast Airstrips

I have seen what the locals do to cars that owners have had to walk away from for whatever reason. Leave it alone.
I have been “escorted” through back woods areas by armed and masked quad bike riders on my motorcycle and vowed never to return.
They don’t want you up there. Scary people.

Watch the movie “Murder Mountain” and it will enlighten you to law enforcements stance on things. Truly the last of the Wild West…

The strip on the northern side of the creek is partially on private land while the one on the southern side of the creek is next to a smaller private parcel but is 100% on BLM land. In the OnX satellite photo you can see a plane on the south one but not sure when the photo was taken. I’m sure the landowners are not keen on anyone using these strips (I would be the same) but from what I can tell it should be legal to land on the southern strip.


I suspect that the National Conservation Area designation or a Wilderness Area designation the Southern Strip a no go. That's normally the case on BLM land so designated. The land on the northern side is likely a private inholding.
