Great Landing Welldone - lovely demonstration of correct approach speed, and constant approach angle. Looks like a great place to visit! (I fly in the UK, so hard to find spots like that!!)
Tricky indeed! Closest to death I've ever been (that I know of). I was a very foolish newly minted private pilot who tried to go there to celebrate having received my license. Tried a standard approach (didn't follow the river). Didn't get down in time. Had to go around. Barely missed the power lines. Barely cleared the ridge. Went to Baxter County Regional instead.
Nice job! That was my first soft field landing. My instructor took me down there from PLK on a cloudy day and bought me lunch. On the take off we were smasning through the puddles on the runway. I've always wanted to go back.....

very nice flair, nice landing. I never landed there, but one time did a low fly-by in 1989

Following the river the most spectacular way to fly into Gastons. Just watch and listen for departing aircraft coming the other way
