The gravel walkway is behind the Hanger B6 past the fuel station. New (to me) addition to the $100 dining selections is Denny's in front of Lowes. Fifteen minute walk over the freeway you'll find Carls Jr and Popeye. Once there, you can go shopping to the Outlet stores. Fuel may not be the lowest but it's lower than my home base.

Great fuel price, lowest in the region. Really nice people at the FBO.

Fuel prices are currently the highest in the area. Fuel-up elsewhere.

This is a great little airport and fly-in destination. They've recently built a gravel walking path from the airport to the famous Nut Tree shopping center/restaurant complex. Fuel is always reasonable priced here as well. There's a small FBO and flight school here. Also a nice 24 hr restroom facility.
