Howe

On my way from King Mountain to Yellowstone, I dropped by Howe, one of the nearest landout site.

• The GPS coordinates in some turnpoint files is slightly off. The airfield is north of 3900N road, not south. Look for bluish and white barns which are at the south end of runway.
  
• The runway is gavel, but in good smooth condition.
  
• There is a windsock near the bluish barn.
  
• There is no obstacles on the approach lines on both ends.
  
• There is no graduation on the field.
  
• There are runway posts on both sides, but they are disguised in the bushes, and very hard to notice when landing. They are 58 ft apart.
  
• There are many fields suitable for landing around this field, but power lines are everywhere. Some fields looked big enough to land over the power lines.
  
• The town of Howe is 5 miles south of the airfield. Howe is an extremely small town with only 10 or so houses. There is no motel.
  
• Ground retrieve is easy. No gate, no tight turns, no gaps.
