    Description

    The dirt and gravel strip is in good condition.  A windsock is on the north end but the desert sun and wind has deteriorated it to the point of being unusable.  There is a gradual uphill grade to the north and power lines on that end.  I did not find tiedowns on the north end but there is an open area too park.

    This strip is on BLM property and is open to the public for use.

    • Hidden Airfield Near Garlock, California

      Hidden Airfield Near Garlock, California

      A video tour of an isolated dry lake in the Mojave desert near Garlock, California, which was supposedly used shortly after Pearl Harbor as a hiding place for fighter aircraft based at Muroc Army Airfield (now Edwards AFB), and Naval Air Station China Lake. However, after a tour of the place, I have my doubts. Terrain clearance (or lack of it, I mean), the short length of the runway (about 3100 feet), two deep depressions in the runway, its unusability during the rainy season, lack of parking space, no means of revetting aircraft or storing fuel and munitions, all point to the fact that this area would have been rather undesirable as an airport. Even if that had been its intended use, placing aircraft here would have had to be an act of near desperation, to be done only in the event the Japanese army was encroaching on the military airfields in the area. In my opinion, pierced steel plating would not have worked in the rainy season here, due to the sheer depth and extremely low bearing strength of the wet silt of this lakebed. Even had the runway been paved, it would, in my opinion, have been under water and therefore unusable. However, the BLM naturalist at Jawbone Station was adamant that this area had, in fact, been used as a hiding place for fighter aircraft based in the area. I don't know what to think. If you have any information on this area, please feel free to post it here on YouTube or e-mail me at mojaveroads@live.com.
    • Wyoming Ranch For Sale - Diamond G Ranch

      Wyoming Ranch For Sale - Diamond G Ranch

      Looking for a Wyoming Ranch For Sale? Arguably the finest mountain ranch retreat in the Rocky Mountain West. Diamond G doesn’t just claim to have it all. It, in fact, does! Privacy – It lies at the end of the road, virtually surrounded by state and federal lands. Access – It is accessible year-round and lies about 17 miles from Dubois and about one hour and 15 minutes from the Jackson Hole Airport. Fishing – It has an estimated 5 miles of the Dunoir River on private land with immediate access to 2.5 more miles on public land that is rarely accessed by the public. The Dunoir is a world-class trout fishery with trout in the 20 plus inch category. Wildlife – Bear, elk, moose, antelope, mountain lion, coyote, wolverine, multiple bird species, and both bighorn sheep and mountain goats are often seen in the adjacent national forest. It is one of the richest, wildest places for wildlife we have ever seen.

      https://hallhall.com/property-for-sale/wyoming/diamond-g-ranch/a095d00002M1c6j/

      Scenery – Absolutely breathtaking with a lush riparian corridor flanked by timbered and open mountains rising to over 11,000 feet topped by dramatic rock formations and three major peaks – Ramshorn, Coffin Butte and Pinnacles. Improvements – Comfortable lodge and guest quarters, operating facilities, and staff quarters all in an authentic western vernacular. Containing over 5,000 deeded acres - This is not just a small inholding in the national forest. When you come up the private road and see the ranch laid out before you, it is the real deal. There is virtually nothing else that one would want to own.
