It is owned by the BLM and open to the public.
No permission required.
If you plan on conducting commercial ops then a "right of way" lease is required.
The lease can be had by anyone. All leaseholders basically agree to share maintenance costs for the strip.
When I had one about 10 years or so ago I think the fees were about $500 ish per year.

No need for come alongs etc.

Just don't land if its muddy!

Thanks for the info! Still flying the Pacer John, though not as much as I'd like. I left active duty for a major airline job a little over a year and a half ago. Between moving back to Texas, remodeling a house, three kids, and two jobs (still flying in the reserves), the Pacer has been a low priority. Fortunately, things are finally starting to slow down and I'm really looking forward to giving the Pacer a good workout! BTW, the Bearhawk is looking great! I wish I had 5 seats

Headed to Mineral and Mexican Mountain Oct 6-7. Maybe we will see some of you out there.

Our small group is headed there OCT 16-19. I'd be extremely grateful for a trip report though!

Thanks. Sounds like your living the good life. Have a great trip!
