MUD, MUD
Chapparal is in eastern colorado mud zone. Most of the year, it is very solid (think concrete).
Extended periods of rain can soften the surface.
Please taxi only in the mowed areas. Please drive on prepared gravel roadways only.

Fire at Chapparal!

As many have noticed, there was a large grass fire which burned the western 1/2 of Runway 11-29.
The runway end cones have been moved to approximately 1800 ft on 29.

In addition, in order to control the fire, a cut was made across the runway. We have smoothed it out enough to taxi, but it will take some time to repair.

If you need more than 1800 ft taking off downhill, please use the north-south runway.

Please limit use of the burned area to taxi only.
The sod will recover quickly if not disturbed.

The burned portion is always usable in an emergency.

Finished mowing 17/35 July 18th, 2016. Sod is firm
11/29 mowed recently,
Please taxi in mowed areas only. There are some pot holes and ditches hidden in the weeds.
Water tank on site is potable.
Call if you have questions or need something. Resources on site, and I can give you access.

Enjoy,
Orlo
