re: North South Rwy Obstructed
Oops, didn't mean to imply that the airport was unusable... The E/W runway is 1800 feet long, and clear at both ends.

North South Rwy Obstructed
Although this airport has a 1300 foot north/south strip, it's pretty much unusuable due to the high tension power lines at the south end of the field.
