unknown eastern oregon strip

I was flying home last week and I spotted an uncharted airstrip that's about 20 miles north of the Enterprise/Joseph area. I think it might be within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest boundary. Does anyone know anything about it?

Re: unknown eastern oregon strip

If I am remembering the name right I think it is Hollow Log.
There is some private property scattered around in the National Forest there. We will be hunting close by in a few days, I'll look it over.

Re: unknown eastern oregon strip

Didn't get a chance to look over the strip.
We camped within 8 or 10 miles of it.......funny how our priorities can change. All about the hunting and almost forgot about flying.
6 for 6 on tags, good hunting and even better country!!

Re: unknown eastern oregon strip

That is the B&H Strip, it was a ranch strip but is on USFS ground.
We go there often...




Hell with it....

Wup,
That's not the one I thought he was talking about.
Do you know anything about the strip a little East of Red Hill Tower?
