How'd you like to live in that house? It's located almost in-line with the runway.

The runway is about 2,400 feet long which is kinda short. It isn't very wide either. If you land at the far end of the runway from this picture's perspective, you can either taxi back on the runway (if no one else is coming in for a landing) or if the grass is dry enough, you can taxi back on the side of the runway.

At one end of the runway you'll find a woods. So if you land too long, you abort a takeoff too late, or if your engine quits on takeoff, you may be eating tree bark and leaves for dinner. And if you're lucky you'll get to talk about it.

Here is a good view of runway "28." Why 28? Well the runway numbers correlate to magnetic direction. In the picture I was facing 280 degrees from magnetic north, or westerly. To make things easier they just chop off the trailing digit. So if you do the math, the opposite runway is 280 degrees minus 180 degrees which gives you 100 degrees, or runway "10." Since the wind predominately blows from west to east in the northern hemisphere (did you know it blows predominately in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?), the most used runway is runway 28, much to the joy of the folks who live in the house at the end of runway 10.
