Narrative:
Approached coe from east (outer hayden lake) with inoperative radio. Smoke in the general area was driven gently in various directions. Wind sock later confirmed light and variable. At coe we use runway 19 in these conditions. I entered left traffic on 45 degrees to runway 19 and executed standard traffic pattern. I had beacon, strobes, navigation lights and landing lights illuminated. As I rotated for touch down I saw a 172 sitting off the runway east side of runway 10. He obviously had pulled off the runway when he saw me on final. As I taxied past I looked at the wind sock. It indicated winds from 045 degrees at 5 KTS or less. The 172 was generally mustard color with white and displayed no lights that I could recall. The sun was low at about 240 degrees which, along with the darker, blending color of the 172 made it difficult for me to see him (particularly since it was sitting off the runway). The 172 was operated by a student who, I believe, reacted well to the situation.

Title: SMA SIGHTS SECOND SMA OFF TO SIDE OF RWY ON ROLLOUT AT NON TWR ARPT. OPPOSITE DIRECTION TFC.
Narrative: APCHED COE FROM E (OUTER HAYDEN LAKE) WITH INOP RADIO. SMOKE IN THE GENERAL AREA WAS DRIVEN GENTLY IN VARIOUS DIRECTIONS. WIND SOCK LATER CONFIRMED LIGHT AND VARIABLE. AT COE WE USE RWY 19 IN THESE CONDITIONS. I ENTERED L TFC ON 45 DEGS TO RWY 19 AND EXECUTED STANDARD TFC PATTERN. I HAD BEACON, STROBES, NAV LIGHTS AND LNDG LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AS I ROTATED FOR TOUCH DOWN I SAW A 172 SITTING OFF THE RWY E SIDE OF RWY 10. HE OBVIOUSLY HAD PULLED OFF THE RWY WHEN HE SAW ME ON FINAL. AS I TAXIED PAST I LOOKED AT THE WIND SOCK. IT INDICATED WINDS FROM 045 DEGS AT 5 KTS OR LESS. THE 172 WAS GENERALLY MUSTARD COLOR WITH WHITE AND DISPLAYED NO LIGHTS THAT I COULD RECALL. THE SUN WAS LOW AT ABOUT 240 DEGS WHICH, ALONG WITH THE DARKER, BLENDING COLOR OF THE 172 MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SEE HIM (PARTICULARLY SINCE IT WAS SITTING OFF THE RWY). THE 172 WAS OPERATED BY A STUDENT WHO, I BELIEVE, REACTED WELL TO THE SIT.
