Dang Ron,

Had I looked at the FAA chart close enough on the FAA chart provided on the
original post, I would have noticed the white L circled in black by the
CTAF frequency. Answer was right under my nose.

Thanks for correcting me!

Go MISSED! It is descending below the MDA like this that caused the
Gulfstream crash at Aspen. Trying to "stuff it in" they discovered the
visibility blocked the runway and they CRASHED and DIED.

That was a night approach into an airport that is marginally (at best) an
IFR airport. And, it was a jet airplane.

A single-engine light aircraft going to a relatively flat-land CAT A/B
only airport in the daytime, and with pretty good weather is a very
different set of circumstances than what happened at Aspen.
