Lots of odd things to be seen when viewing from this far away.

My friends and I came across an old abandoned airstrip looking thing a while ago on Google Earth. There are quite a few places like this in the area and are kept pretty much a secret by local forums. ie. Tire Hell - old WW2 Airstrip... Dunno if anyone still goes there anymore. Fun times.

Were they paved, or dirt?

 

[medtro]

I like this one better . Just a little bit east of the first one.

 

[bluecruiser]

they were paved but are badly weathered and more like gravel now...

Road trip!

And yes there are lots of old airstrips in the area.
