I expected Granum airfield would be harder to find. Labelled abandoned on a 1959 topographical map one can still see the outline on Google Earth but what would be seen from below was questionable. I expect the Granum and Woodhouse airstrips were simply emergency landing fields for nearby bases.

I guess I was right.

From the road no remnants could be seen.

But in the distance — is tnat a statue of a plane?

I expect I am hallucinating at this point.

Here's a telephoto shot from a slightly different angle.

Maybe you the viewer can tell me what it is.
Continuing on, we had to abandon Google Earth’s prescribed route as we were afraid our little smart car would get high centered.
Then to our delight we encountered a mud hole where we met up with ...
... an American Avocet ...
... and a Semipalmated Plover.
