Backcountry Enthusiasts,
A group of about 9 pilots and volunteers recently flew and / or drove to Forepaugh to do some clean up. We spent a few hours trimming back the mesquite from the edges of the runway and grooming the runway. The windsock was replaced and the segmented circle organized and painted. This is a great spot while the temps are cool enough to camp.
Red Creek is in OK shape, but the most recent rains left lots of cobble bumps from the cattle walking in the mud and leaving tracks that have now hardened. A couple of us filled in one of the east end trenches and another one still needs attention. The approach end aimpoint rocks need painted but are still fairly visible.
Have Fun, Be Safe.
