Gravelly Valley Airport, 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., photo by S B J

1Q5, 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., photo by S B J
