It was a cool and foggy evening, night was soon to fall and the eerie wail of the wolves at the edge of the forest sent chills up our spines
This is just an airport in the fog. It's a little municipal airport, situated a little too far up the hill and too far into the clouds. An uncontrolled airport, the nearest navaids are NDBs at:
NDB name Hdg/Dist Freq Var ID
DEER PARK 313/24.4 365 16E DPY
IONE 188/27.1 379 21E ION
CANYON 323/40.0 388 20E CRK
Elevation is 2084 ft. / 635 m
Runway (17/35) - 3446 x 48 ft. / 1050 x 15 m
The airport is owned by the city of Chewelah.
17 private aircraft are based at the airport, which averages 30 operations per day.
There are no services and, though it is not indicated that fuel is available, we did note a fuel truck to the south of some hangers.
Wish we could tell you more, but couldn't see too far through the fog on the day we visited.
