Patrick, Yes, the airstrip itself is not in good shape, but the road that runs along the side of the strip looks to be. Of course, it should be checked out before landing. That is the part that is 3200 feet long and straight. Check it out on Google Earth.

Note where it said that the airstrip is no longer usable and severely eroded. But if you do try it whats say you send pictures. Might be a nice spot to drive to for star gazing. patrick :) On 27 Nov 2012, at 19:25, Brent Watson wrote:
Wow, Patrick. That is a long runway. It is 5200 feet long an 100 feet wide. I bet the east end is still landable. The road looks to be well maintained. I probably wouldn't hesitate to use it. The road on the east portion is 3200 feet long and slopes uphill to the west. The west end looks to be about 20 feet higher. It is not in the Utah Back Country Pilots database. I'll have to get it added.
BTW, the Green River, Wyoming airport is still known as the Greater Green River Intergallactic Spaceport.
