Utah Wasatch backside Private Strip

A couple of weeks ago I was flying back to OGD from Scofield and spotted this strip. Just curious if anyone knows whose it is. It's just south of Morgan, UT.

That strip belongs to the Wilkerson or Wilkinson (unsure of spelling) family. It's an uphill strip. They fly their cub out of there and the Morgan airport. They are not too friendly about others using the strip. Some of the locals use it occasionally. It's at the mouth of Hardscrabble Canyon.

Ya, it's owned by Dan Wilkinson. They call it the "Field of Dreams". He's a real nice guy but I would stay away unless you know him or fly in with someone who knows him pretty well. They are not too keen on outsiders messing around up there. I go over occasionally. It's a really fun strip.

I've met Dane. Nice guy. And it looks like a fun strip. Might have to work my contacts to be able to check it out.

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.
