Airport in Walpole VT?

I was putzing around in wave yesterday and noticed what
appears to be a nice airport not on the chart.
East from Bellow Falls. Anybody know this one?

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

....and street view appears to have a bunch of cars parked on "runway", oh, well.

Flier, beware.

More... after a little wrestling with GE to see where this place actually is, I realize I've driven past on 123 many times. It's not been used as an airport since 1997, I'm certain of that. GE overhead does suggest it may be landable, but I don't think I'll be adding it to our database as there isn't anything nearby that looks very appealing in case this place turns out not to be landable.

I have landed my hang glider there a few times. Years back I remembered seeing some planes parked there. Its well known to the Ascutney hang gliding pilots.

I didn't see any cars on the runway yesterday,
but then I was at 14,000...

Ludeman's law of obstruction observability -- the observability of any runway obstruction increases as the fourth power of your need to land your glider on the part of the runway so obstructed. :-)

I flew over the abandoned airport at Groveton NH last week and it looked fine. Of course, I had no need to land....

Drewsville NH. I used to fly a Navajo out of there decades ago. Owned by Frank Whitcomb Paving. Once the Navajo was traded for a helicopter the airport was essentially not used for fixed wing a/c.

Thanks Peter!
No idea why there was strong wave there...

Here's another mystery airport, near Grantham. I have not yet put eyeballs on it. Thought to do so yesterday, but was too busy looking at the sky. Glorious...
