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, N39932 at Lake Pillsbury in 1991. View is to the north and down the runway. Most pilots take off in the opposite direction toward the lake to avoid the higher terrain. Notice driftwood near 932 which is from high water., photo by S B J
