We flew into Little River on 1/21/23 and were met at the tie-down by the airport manager who rode out to meet us on his bike and asked if we needed any help or information. We rented a Lexus SUV that is kept at the field that we had reserved through Air Galore for 4 hrs that was very reasonable. Keys in a lock box. Just had to top off the tank on the way back from Mendocino. Great experience.

A bit dicey. No one was there when we arrived on a Monday early afternoon. Parking not completely obvious. Attempting to leave on a Weds. Around 1pm, a Notam indicated that the runway would be closed from 0800 - 1700. Notams are given in Zulu time, so this would be 1am - 10am local. Airport personnel barred us from departing, claiming that the Notam was in local time, and it was for CalFire to store materials at the airport (no aviation involved). CalFire was nowhere to be seen. We appreciate the support for CalFire, but could not understand how our 5 min of departure was going to be a problem. Finally reached FAA by phone and had them explain to the local officials that the Notam they had filed was indeed in Zulu time. So we were able to leave.
