I have a copy of the Flyer's Recreation Guide from 1993. It has a
description of Chico Hot Springs, an uncharted "airport" in the town of
Pray, Idaho.


Actually it's in Pray, Montana.



Coord: N-45-21.5, W-110-37.5
Elev: 5200 feet
RWay: 15/33 5000 x 35' asphalt
Freq: CTAF-122.8
Chart: (not charted)

CAUTION: The runway is an automobile highway. Call on 122.8 and ask
Chico Hot Springs to block the road. Land on 15; depart on 33.

"The airport is a county highway that doubles as a runway. ..

Call Chico in advance at 406-333-4933 to alert them of your arrival.
As them to verify that their radio is on and the volume is up. When you
arrive, circle the runway and contact Chico Hot Springs on 122.8 Wait
until they block the road, as required by the county sheriff."

I've never been to Chico Hot Springs, so this is the only information I
have about it.


You are correct, you land on a portion of the highway.
