The first plane owned by the Union Lumber Company landed on this airstrip in 1949. Company executives traveled by air from San Francisco to oversee mill operations or to go on summer and holiday vacations. Planes took off and landed here for the next half century, until the mill shut down in 2002. Today, the airstrip serves earthbound travelers: joggers, cyclists, resident deer, and jackrabbits.
