OCT 13, 2024, A PRIVATE PILOT WAS LANDING AT 77S AIRPORT ON RUNWAY 34 IN A CESSNA 177B AND EXPERIENCED A HARD LANDING.  THE AIRPLANE THEN BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES AND VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT BETWEEN RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY, HITTING A TAXI WAY CROSSING SIGN.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED MOVING FORWARD HITTING A MOUND OF DIRT AND LAUNCHING THE AIRCRAFT IN THE AIR FOR A DISTANCE BEFORE IMPACTING THE GROUND NOSE LOW AND CAUSING THE NOSE LANDING GEAR TO BREAK AWAY.  AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST IN THE GRASS WITH ADDITIONAL DAMAGE.
