Hi Gang
This is a picture I took of my friend Scott Trask's runway, it is located near my home town.
A few years ago, John Hauck, John Williamson, and Richard Neilson landed there on their way to Oshkosh.

Bill:
Nice shot.
That was a very intimidating airstrip the first time I landed there.
John W had a little more problem with it than I did. The Kolbra did
not have the benefit from full flaps and good brakes. Since then,
John updated his brakes. 
Brings back fond memories.

I would use the terms "on the edge memories" instead of "fond memories".
The Kolbra can flat use up some runway. Sure glad I had an "escape route" after the first attempt.
Scott was a great host.

Great photos! I have much better memories of Scott's strip as I look at the widened strip in this photo. Back when John W. John H. and I landed there it was quite a bit more narrow at the halfway point. When I 1st landed there I just lined up and went for it. After I taxied back thru the narrow section I was surprised just how close the trees were to my wing tips. Bill, Scott and the rest of the gang thought I was over reacting but from the cockpit it looked like the wing tips were touching the trees on both sides. Those U.P. boys hone their landing skills very well.

John,
"That was a very intimidating airstrip the first time I landed there."
Was it as intimidating as Harris hollow?

Paul:
I landed at Scott Trask airstrip first.
That probably took some of the intimidation out of landing at Harris
Hollow. Another contributing factor was very early in the morning and
flying without the benefit of coffee. I knew there was coffee on the
ground and nothing was going to stand in the way of that first,
second, and third cup.
