Welcome to Takhin River Airstrip!
This airstrip is an old half abandoned and partially overgrown airstrip on the right bank of the Takhin River in the Takhinsha Mountains.
Half way between Haines and the Tsirku Glacier, it presumably once served as entry and drop off point for hunters, researchers and others who needed to access the wilderness.
It has seen some recent interest and activity by some local bush pilots and hunters and has been cleared of the worst, however, this is a non-maintained and rarely used airstrip, so be cautious.
This is a real place: 59.254334, -135.998106
NOTAMS:
Runway extremely narrow. Possible debris on runway. Obstacles close to runway hidden in high grass. No windsock available. Recommended landing to the SE

This airstrip is much more of a challenge than it looks at first.
Only 700 feet of extremely narrow runway, which for the most past merely consists of tracks by other aircraft, to get you down and out.
In the tall grass and shrubs directly adjacent to the runway you'll find logs and other debris.
Depending on your aircraft, the obstacle, your speed and direction you will crash your aircraft hitting them
Keep in the tracks at all costs.
Let me know if the challenge is right or needs adjustment.
You need the Bush & Backcountry Libary for this scenery to work: https://flightsim.to/file/43061/bush-backcountry-library
