I love airplanes and flight in general. Driving aimlessly for a while I stumbled on this airport made in this farmers backyard. I thought it was great. I wish I could just pull a plane out of my garage and just take off to anywhere. When you drive by you will notice the runway numbers mowed into the grass, 36, which stands for 360 degrees, facing north and south.
The cache is an easy park and grab. Nothing to it. I just wanted to share this airport.
