Robert,

I flew in there a week or so ago and it did look different. I didn't pay
too much attention (various reasons), but I do recall the area where the old
taxiway used to be (between the runway and Hwy 5) appeared to be 'prepared',
lighter brown. Having said that, I didn't see any signs of any taxiway
preperation and it sure didn't seem to be a place that semi's would park. I
cannot see how it makes sense financially to put down a taxiway. Of course,
the land 32, takeoff 14 and backtaxi options might not suit the larger
aircraft and then it might make sense. Thinking about it a little more, it
probably makes more sense to put a new taxiway on the east side of the
runway.

When I flew into Harris Ranch today I noticed that they have been
doing extensive grading on both sides of the runway. It makes me
wonder if
a) They are adding a taxiway or widening the runway or
b) Building a bigger parking lot for the semi's that stop and spend
money.

I hope it isn't b.
