The pre-drought turf was great, now it's a bit lumpy, but I'm sure a few
good months of rain and some overseeding will put it right.


The owners of Wax Orchards airport (WA69) used to be proud to say their
runway was the smoothest turf strip anywhere. I see their description at
Airnav http://www.airnav.com/airport/WA69 says "Surface: turf, in fair
condition". They used to roll it until it felt like a billiard table. Wish
my lawn was in half that shape.

Leeward Air Ranch has some pretty smooth turf. I landed there once and
the only indication I got that we touched down was the drag on the
landing gear.

The place is nice, but too far out in the boondocks, is on wells and
septic systems and has auto traffic on the main taxiway.
