Narrative:

Runway at lakes region 12-30 2030 ft times 50 ft asph. Cavu WX. Wind 290 degrees, 10-12 KTS. Visibility 40. Runway 30 -- 3 percent down gradient. Entered left traffic pattern circled entire field. Decided to land runway 12, having landed on 30-8 times last 2 yrs. Use of entire length. Established 1 1/2 mi final full flaps 40 degrees min approach. Speed 72 KTS 2 degrees approach GS. Touchdown at 50 ft from approach end. Retracted flaps. Started immediate braking. Experienced short wind shear and gusting on rollout. Approaching far end due to rise of runway, and drop off, reils were not visual until cresting rise of runway. While still applying full braking, applied left rudder, nose wheel steering. Departed runway toward left corner avoiding reils. Pitched down on 20 degree down slope, surrounding terrain. Traveling down slope to paved airport roadway. Traveled across roadway into 4 ft drop-off, impacted bushes, small trees, aircraft came to halt. No fire, no fuel leakage, no injuries to pilot and/or one male passenger. No property damage. Airport owner was on site shortly after and gave assistance. Damage was extensive and aircraft removed later.

Title: RWY EXCURSION.

Narrative: RWY AT LAKES REGION 12-30 2030 FT TIMES 50 FT ASPH. CAVU WX. WIND 290 DEGS, 10-12 KTS. VISIBILITY 40. RWY 30 -- 3 PERCENT DOWN GRADIENT. ENTERED L TFC PATTERN CIRCLED ENTIRE FIELD. DECIDED TO LAND RWY 12, HAVING LANDED ON 30-8 TIMES LAST 2 YRS. USE OF ENTIRE LENGTH. ESTABLISHED 1 1/2 MI FINAL FULL FLAPS 40 DEGS MIN APCH. SPD 72 KTS 2 DEGS APCH GS. TOUCHDOWN AT 50 FT FROM APCH END. RETRACTED FLAPS. STARTED IMMEDIATE BRAKING. EXPERIENCED SHORT WIND SHEAR AND GUSTING ON ROLLOUT. APCHING FAR END DUE TO RISE OF RWY, AND DROP OFF, REILS WERE NOT VISUAL UNTIL CRESTING RISE OF RWY. WHILE STILL APPLYING FULL BRAKING, APPLIED L RUDDER, NOSE WHEEL STEERING. DEPARTED RWY TOWARD L CORNER AVOIDING REILS. PITCHED DOWN ON 20 DEG DOWN SLOPE, SURROUNDING TERRAIN. TRAVELING DOWN SLOPE TO PAVED ARPT ROADWAY. TRAVELED ACROSS ROADWAY INTO 4 FT DROP-OFF, IMPACTED BUSHES, SMALL TREES, ACFT CAME TO HALT. NO FIRE, NO FUEL LEAKAGE, NO INJURIES TO PLT AND/OR ONE MALE PAX. NO PROPERTY DAMAGE. ARPT OWNER WAS ON SITE SHORTLY AFTER AND GAVE ASSISTANCE. DAMAGE WAS EXTENSIVE AND ACFT REMOVED LATER.
