Default Mayday In Utah

Steve:

Many thanks for the report. I would have done pretty much the same in
those circumstances.

I know that area very well (both from the air and on the ground) and
it is very sparsely populated desert with few roads and spotty
cellphone coverage. I also spotted the same strip from the air during
last year's Region 9, so it's nice to know that it's landable.

Some strips that are on the sectional or the soaring database no
longer exist or are unlandable.
