 - This picture shows the road that crosses the south end of runway.While there are stop signs,vehicles do not always stop.Landing, a pilot should be prepared for this!!Seen more then one pilot startled when a car appeared when landing. - by S B J

 - N9078E at the north end of runway.View is to the SW, down the runway and to the lake. While not an absolute one way strip, it is best to take off toward the lake as most pilots do. - by S B J

 - Lake Pillsbury looking west. Because of the mountainous terrain,1Q5 is not pilot friendly when windy. A 25 kt wind contributed to a fatal C172 accident on 5-8-82. At one time there was a cross wind runway which could have helped this unfortunate pilot. - by S B J
