This airport is fenced, but occasionally buffalo get through and are on the airport. Be aware! It is sometimes used as a station for firefighting planes. Restrooms are outhouse. It's a nice strip, but check density altitude, especially in the summer. You'll need to prearrange transportation with friends or relatives.
