 - Some of my many stops at L61.In the 70s,arrivals were always greeted by a local resident.While not a pilot,he liked talking about airplanes.Missed him when it stopped in the 80s.Nice stop for lunch,gas,ice etc. - by S B J

 - N6369E at Shoshone and picture of the small village that is so close that when landing on runway 15 you fly right over Shoshone on short final. I have always landed on 33 and departed on 15 wind permitting.View is to the west & DV. - by S B J

 - 02x at Shoshone showing the short distance to town and the trees that you fly over on short final if landing on runway 15.Runway 33 is upslope with obstructions so a go around can be problematic.Was a fatal acc on a go around on 8-18-73. - by S B J
