Frank we solved the problem, they are going to let us take down a section of fence on the west side of the airport. I learned to fly in Alaska where a smooth runway is a miracle. The runway at Naknek is 1200 ft of cobblestones about the size of your fist. The first time I landed on it the instructor said keep the nose up as long as you can. When we were weight on mains I thought the airplane (C172) was going to self destruct., and I have to admit I was very busy.

Glad you worked out a deal, I lived in Renton Washington for a while and flew out of "Crest Airpark" in Kent. Worked in LasVegas and flew parts, mostly electric motors, to mines in desert, at all hours of day or night. Never knew what the surface of the landing area was going to be. Sage brush, sandy, rock or paved. The air strip I live on is like a big time airport, 2800 X 50 foot, oiled dirt.
Just no night operations. We are on the VFR chart as "NC7 something, I forget." We just go by "AltaMesa Airpark"
Good luck and keep your nose up.

The correct Airport identifer should be "3CN7" FAA site 02461.66A
