Comments 1 to 2 of 2 in the thread "No good!" (Herb's Travel Plaza Airstrip):

The aircraft parked here are so overgrown their landing gear is now part of the landscape. It looks like this was once a field with a Cessna population that is long gone. The runway is no longer a runway and is simply a road into the gas station. Too bad, it would have been fun!

Reply to @viennatech: According to this article, it's still operational, and has an informal fly-in every weekend, as well as occasional air-ambulance traffic:

The paved runway is closed, but there's a grass strip operating (I think it may be just to the right in the satellite photo).
