Warning: 25' wide, 1800' long

I was circling over N85 in my partnership's non-retractable 182,
considering landing. Someone had just landed there (on runway 26). He
suggested that I might want to consider 31, given the wind direction, if I
was "up to it".

"Up to it"?

I've landed at N85 a few times, but never on this "crosswind runway". But
looking at it from the air, I didn't see the issue. So I asked "what's
the big deal?" After all, the crosswind on 26 wasn't really that high;
we'll within my comfort zone. So if 31 was a problem...

And I didn't really need to land here. I wanted the cheap fuel, but there
were other options.

Someone on UNICOM described the problem with the runway: it's small, at
25' width and 1800' length.

That's a problem?

I landed on 31. It was an easy landing with the wind practically on the
nose (why don't we call it a "nose wind" instead of a "headwind"?).

Are there really people that would have trouble putting a 182 onto that
runway. I don't consider myself a stick and rudder king, so this is
leaving me a little puzzled.
