Observation Date: April 18, 2025
Flew into Shearer with helicopter on 4/18/2025. Runway is damp and mostly firm, including usual wet spots. Fixed wing operations not causing any significant rutting. Outhouse is filling but but still usable for a while. If the waste was shoveled and leveled a bit that would provide for additional time before the the outhouse is needed to be moved over to a new pit.
Observation Date: March 8, 2025
Flew into Shearer briefly with the helicopter. Airstrip flat covered with a few inches of snow with runway completely covered with about four inches snow. Noticeable more snow covering at Shearer than at Moose Cr.
