2000 ft. grass strips look like every other hay field in many parts of
the country, and aren't all that useful as VFR features.

There are uncharted airports in southeastern New Hampshire /
northeastern Massachusetts that have taken me years to suss out. I
have noted them on my edition of Google Earth (a wonderful way to
pre-fly or post-fly a trip). And there are charted airfields that I
have never been able to find, probably because they've been turned
into housing developments.

I started flying in 1999, and once a week I'd drive through Stratham,
a rural community near Exeter NH. For at least six years, something
like 300 commutes, there was either an access road being put in or
houses under construction along the road. Now it's entirely built out,
which has the sad but at least peaceful resolution of no more
construction.
