To the best of my knowledge the Snook cottages are still there I haven't
lived on the islands in years. I was trying to find when the strip closed.

I landed there once... must have been about 1972. (I don't have that log

book

handy.) Flew over from Boca Raton in a American Traveler with wife and
a couple of friends. I remember that there were some fairly tall

Australian
Pine
trees at one end that you had to come in over close inorder to get down

and
stopped. When we were ready to leave, on the walk-around I found some
pine needles in the wheels... If you want additional info, I'll try to

dig out
that
logbook and perhaps get the airport identifier.

By any chance do you remember the 'Snook Cottages' on Sanibel? They were
some cousins (or some such relative) that I remmber visiting via the
ferry when my family drove there in the early 60s.

have
done a Google search with few results. Does anyone have any details on

this
now closed strip?
I remember going by it on the school bus many times(I lived on Captiva

at
the time) and vaguely remember there were shelters for small planes

across
the street by the Casabel resort.
Thanks
