## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE PILOT LEFT HIS BASE CAMP AT MOSSES CREEK (1U1) WITH ONE PASSENGER, AND WAS CHECKING OUT AREAS TO GO FISHING. PILOT FLEW OVER SHEARER AIRFIELD (2U5), AND DETERMINED HE WOULD BE OK TO LAND. DUE TO THE HILLS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AIRFIELD, THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO TOUCH DOWN UNTIL ABOUT MID FIELD, AND AT THAT POINT DIDN?T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE IT CLIMB OVER THE TOPS OF THE TREE. THE PILOT DECIDED TO STAY ON THE GROUND. THE MORNING DEW ON THE GRASS AIRSTRIP MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP BEFORE GOING OFF THE RUNWAY. THE RIGHT WING CONTACTED SOME BRUSH, THEN THE LANDING GEAR CAUGHT A DRY SPOT AND SENT THE LEFT WINGTIP INTO THE GROUND. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE AIRCRAFT WITH NO INJURIES. THE PILOT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE AIRCRAFT.
