At the self-serve pump, follow the instructions and put your card in last. It’s a newer setup, so don’t assume you already know the routine-do it out of order and it won’t work, then it’s your fault!

This airport really has everything. Self-serve fuel, a courtesy car, and an excellent paved runway rising uphill toward the west. Tie-down cables are by the hangar, plus there is a pilots lounge with a toilet. Key the mic three times for weather, and call ahead since the airport manager might be able to get your plane into the hangar overnight. In town there is a first class hotel, a stake house open Friday through Sunday, dinner right across from the hotel, and a grocery store beside it. The toy museum is very impressive. Locals were super friendly and helpful.

Chart and supplement say turf. It is a PAVED runway. Very good downhill slope landing 08.
