When I was working on my PPL my instructor took me into Blackhorse. That was my first experience landing on grass... or mud depending on how you looked at it. We also went into a little private strip just west of CKB. You basically flew up the guys driveway, hung a right at his barn and there was the runway. Midfield there was a bridge that crossed a creek and then it opened up to another field. He had a camel (the animal, not the plane) and it would always just kind of be hanging out next to the runway with the cows.

I have seen this place before from the air. Really cool!West Virginia.

And it's totally uncharted
We spotted it from an altitude and spiraled down to take a look. Way cool! Google search didn't yield much. Could be a Vietnam vet retreat?

I drive planes
I took a TriPacer from Joplin, MO to Sturgis, MI last week (it was supposed to get to Ray, MI) and got to have a fun power loss only 120nm out from the final destination. It had already made it to Joplin from LA the week before as well but dropped off from normal to full throttle being 2000rpm, 25kts slower than cruise, and a 200fpm descent at what would be a minimum sink speed. Ended up getting lucky and diverting to an excellent airport (KIRS - Sturgis, MI) with a mechanic only 10 minutes away, UNICOM operator that answered my call within seconds, a crew car I could take overnight, and a free ride to AZO (about an hour away) when I needed to catch an airline flight out and leave the plane for a top overhaul! Good times....
Over Missouri in my friend's PA28 at 5:30AM (that is the moon) heading out to pick the Pacer up in Joplin
Probably the ugliest airplane I have ever flown. I am still trying to figure out which war it flew in
My friend escorting me out for the first 50nm or so in the Cherokee
Panel is laid out kind of weird with all of the important stuff way over there and the AI and DG front and center
Crossing I-55
Tucked in the hangar the morning after showing up at IRS the #1 cylinder compression checked at 24/85 and the other 3 weren't too impressive either.

A few from the past 2 days of flying, it's been absolutely brilliant in the PacNW.
