Columbia California: http://www.airstripamerica.com/cgi-bin/apt_info?O22
Columbia is in the foot hills of the Sierra Mountains and is a historic gold mining town run the Park Service. Camping is off the grass runway 11/29 on the right side of the picture. The town is an easy 10 to 15 minute walk to the left. I was there last spring for the Taylorcraft Rendezvous and it is a popular destination for many others including the 99's and the Luscombe group. - Carl - |

I would love to return there. http://lairds.org/Kyler/photos/disk0...g/image_viewer Note that the town largely shuts down in the evening but during the day there are plenty of places to eat. Camping is off the grass runway 11/29 on the right side of the picture. way ahead and to the right in this photo http://lairds.org/Kyler/photos/disk0...g/image_viewer There's a bit of a hill at the other end of the strip. I haven't been to many strips with camping. Columbia impressed me. There are nice/adequate camping facilities that are accessible only from the runway. Is that common?

No shortage of good people in the area. --kyler |

The beach is a couple of hundred yards away. ebs |
