 - 932 at 1Q5 with view down the runway and to the north. For planes like 932 ( for me ) it was a two way strip, but for a heavy C172 it is definitely one way only, at least for takeoff . The snow is on Hull Mt. which is 6873 feet.  - 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
