Good place to camp. No roads into the place. Was there last August but do not plan to go back unless it is about a month and a half earlyer cus the tubelweed is about 18 inches in late august.
I land there, every couple of weeks to use the bathroom. Most of the time. When you have to go you have to go. Anyway, never have noticed any 18 inch tumbleweeds on any of my trips may be some cheat grass off the runway. But the runway is typically bare anyway, I live about 20 miles away. Pretty good strip, with a few bumps and ruts be really careful during wet times of the year, which typically only applies after your typical cloudburst in the area. Also the strip has a hump in the center that can tend to make you fly sooner than you are typically ready. So be aware that.
Owyhee is cool, Went there for a weekend a couple years ago, If it wasn't quite so far away (450 miles), I'd go back often. I like that high desert country, a nice change of pace from western Washington!
Shawn, I thought that I saw a couple pronghorn there, but they were a long ways off & I didn't have my binoc's so they mighta been deer. Are there pronghorn in that area?
