Looking back at the tail and wing as I hike to the runways.

This shot was taken from the intersection of the two runways looking towards the crash site. This 1800 foot east/west runway is in bad shape, looks like it's been closed for a long time. It's overgrown and has a lot of rain ruts. Most planes would rip off their landing gear if they set down here.

This is a shot of the 3600 foot north/south runway taken from it's south end. It too is overgrown and has a road running up the center of it.

Looking out at the area that holds the Piper Navajo's resting place as I eat my lunch before starting the drive home.

On the drive back to the highway.

Google Earth view of the Hart Mine Airport.
