It's a good wild guess. It's Meling Ranch (Rancho San Jose), taken in 2001 from the old graveyard on the hill.

I'm like a little kid with these things, can't wait to give up the secret capt. mike - 6-3-2010 at 08:18 AM
Melings was my 1st thought but i couldn't get past the short profile given the oblique on that image.
so i had to guess at a place i've never landed before.
do another Ken!Ken Bondy - 6-3-2010 at 11:18 AM

I think the shallow angle on the photo, and the fact that part of the runway is obscured by terrain, makes it look a lot shorter. But I promise you
it is Meling . Let me think about another one.capt. mike - 6-3-2010 at 11:27 AM
i'll do one for you now. got to go find one 1st.
it will be an airstrip and it will be in baja.
name this spot.
