Can't wait to see this airport get paving, then watch how busy it gets :)

There are lots of hills surrounding the airport -- there's nothing scary, but you do have to be on top of things. The grass runway was in fairly good shape (a little bumpy, but no holes), and there are nosewheel planes based at the airport, so they obviously maintain things (taildraggers can handle much rougher ground than nosewheel planes). I like the airport, and I plan to stop there again, though I might not want to try outclimbing the hills with my family on board on a hot summer day. The runway is good and long (over 3,000 feet), so that's not an issue.
I bought fuel here on Sunday 9 September. The price was good, and it's a nice, friendly airport (with snacks and drinks in the fridge and an honour-system cash box for paying); however, they are not set up to take credit or debit cards, so make sure that you have cash or a chequebook with you.
