Okay, I think I've got most of it figured out:

S: El Tiro --.-
1 Brave Bull 29.7
2 Cascabel 33.5
3 Willcox 28.4
4 Bowie 25.0
5 San Simon 14.4
6 Steins 14.9
7 Lordsburg 19.1
8 Deming 56.4 *** help!
9 Solo Ranch 18.5
10 Las Cruces 28.2
11 Cielo Dorado 31.0
F: West Tx Apt 27.0

Last I heard Brave Bull was under houses!

La Cholla is good but watch for the runway lights. Biospere was
landable 2 years ago but I heard reports the brush is encroaching.
Landing options are sparce in this area.

I aborted an approach to Bowie a few years ago as it looked too
narrow. Made a very late decision to go to an adjacent field. Turned
out the strip was just wide enough for 15m but it may be more
overgrown now.

Not sure about San Simon. Don't think I could find it last time I was
in the area.

Always go for fields in preference to a strip of unknown condition or
width. Many Arizona crop duster strips are too narrow to land 15m
gliders.
