The slippery grass can catch you out, it has me! And one of the LIL staff put a Bonanza off the end a little while back, so it can happen to the best of us!
Yes, the dark clay/loams of the Valley on which the grass grows gets greasy when wet and becomes a bottomless pit when very wet. I farmed it for more than 10 years.
I wish they had never turned the cross strip into a taxiway.
