The runway is uneven and in sore of resurfacing, but I don't consider it rough enough to preclude you from going there. There are no big pot holes or anything I saw that would damage your plane. On any given day, many planes land there without incident, so I think you should be OK. What irks me about that airport is that they now collect a landing fee of $10 per plane ($15 if you have 3 or more passengers) and I have no idea where that money goes. It certainly isn't being used for runway maintenance. Skip Slater
