Dave Nash Ranch Airport

The airport was a private ranch airstrip. The most probable reason for its closure is the cessation of use by its owner. This is common for private strips and can be due to the owner no longer being able to fly (due to age or health), selling their aircraft, or the sale of the ranch to a new owner without an interest in aviation. The closure was not the result of a specific accident, regulatory action, or economic failure in the way a public airport might close.

The site is currently part of the ranch's pasture land. The former runway is no longer maintained and has largely reverted to its natural state, being heavily overgrown with grass and shrubs. While the faint outline of the north-south runway is still visible from satellite imagery, it is completely unusable for aircraft. There are no remaining airport facilities like hangars or markings.

Dave Nash Ranch Airport was a private, unpaved airstrip located on a remote ranch. Its significance was entirely for the personal and business use of the ranch's owner, providing convenient air travel to a rural area far from public airports. Operations would have been limited to light general aviation aircraft, likely single-engine planes with STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) capabilities suitable for a high-altitude (approx. 8,700 feet), unimproved dirt or grass runway. The identifier 'US-10692' is not an official ICAO or FAA code but an internal designation from a non-governmental online airport database. The airport was never officially registered with the FAA, which is common for private-use-only strips.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the Dave Nash Ranch Airport. As a privately owned airstrip that has been defunct for more than a decade, its restoration would be entirely at the discretion and expense of the current or a future landowner. Reopening is considered highly unlikely unless a new owner is an avid pilot with the desire and resources to rebuild the airstrip for personal use.
