Land Runway 4R ONLY! Caution low wires at East end... Observe windsock midfield on South boundary...
We have cut out a hillside UL strip on the back of our ranch... The large rock monument (two stories tall) pictured next is located on the NE corner of the strip and the smaller (one story tall) stone is just off the SW boundary... Our hanger for the LEU will be near the base of the 2 story rock later in 2001...
The strip is 600 feet long with 2% fall in the first 300 feet and then 4% fall on the last 300 feet of runway 22L...
The next picture is runway 22L... All takeoffs must be done from 22L because of the slope... Note the wires in the upper right corner of the photo re: landing on runway 4R...
The next photo shows runway 4R which requires full stop landings because of wires at the East end... It is NOT advisable to drag runway 4R below 200 feet AGL due to the uphill slope... Runway 4 is always a right hand pattern over the horse pasture seen at the extreme right of the photo...
The next photo is of runway 4R taken at 8X power from the Marron Valley rim 2 miles west of the ranch...
It's July 2001 and hanger construction has started with site preparation...
