Narrative:

On aug/xa/99, I was en route to a private airstrip in long creek, or, located approximately 27 NM from the kimberly VOR on the 055 degree radial. I canceled my IFR flight plan over the VOR and began a descent from 9500 ft (VFR on top). As I proceeded toward long creek, I spotted what appeared to be the airstrip. Its position was located approximately where it should have been on the map with respect to a bend in the highway. I continued my descent after looking around the area and fixated on this strip. I proceeded with the approach and landed to the east. Upon touchdown, I began braking and noticed how narrow the space between the bordering fences was. As I continued to decelerate, my right main gear rolled over the crown of the strip and pulled me to the right. I felt the right wingtip contact the fence and knew that I was no longer able to maintain directional control. I pulled the mixture controls and turned off the fuel pumps. The aircraft continued on about a 20-30 degree course to the right of what I believed to be the runway. When the aircraft came to a stop, I released my grandson's and my shoulder harnesses, opened the door, had my grandson exit the aircraft, turned off the master switch, and exit the aircraft myself. Assessing that we were both uninjured, we walked to the nearest farmhouse where we received assistance. The property owner stated that other aircraft have landed at this location, but that this was not the airstrip indicated on the map.

Title: GA PLT LANDS AT OFF ARPT LOCATION AND DAMAGED ACFT.

Narrative: ON AUG/XA/99, I WAS ENRTE TO A PVT AIRSTRIP IN LONG CREEK, OR, LOCATED APPROX 27 NM FROM THE KIMBERLY VOR ON THE 055 DEG RADIAL. I CANCELED MY IFR FLT PLAN OVER THE VOR AND BEGAN A DSCNT FROM 9500 FT (VFR ON TOP). AS I PROCEEDED TOWARD LONG CREEK, I SPOTTED WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE AIRSTRIP. ITS POS WAS LOCATED APPROX WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE MAP WITH RESPECT TO A BEND IN THE HWY. I CONTINUED MY DSCNT AFTER LOOKING AROUND THE AREA AND FIXATED ON THIS STRIP. I PROCEEDED WITH THE APCH AND LANDED TO THE E. UPON TOUCHDOWN, I BEGAN BRAKING AND NOTICED HOW NARROW THE SPACE BTWN THE BORDERING FENCES WAS. AS I CONTINUED TO DECELERATE, MY R MAIN GEAR ROLLED OVER THE CROWN OF THE STRIP AND PULLED ME TO THE R. I FELT THE R WINGTIP CONTACT THE FENCE AND KNEW THAT I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CTL. I PULLED THE MIXTURE CTLS AND TURNED OFF THE FUEL PUMPS. THE ACFT CONTINUED ON ABOUT A 20-30 DEG COURSE TO THE R OF WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE THE RWY. WHEN THE ACFT CAME TO A STOP, I RELEASED MY GRANDSON'S AND MY SHOULDER HARNESSES, OPENED THE DOOR, HAD MY GRANDSON EXIT THE ACFT, TURNED OFF THE MASTER SWITCH, AND EXIT THE ACFT MYSELF. ASSESSING THAT WE WERE BOTH UNINJURED, WE WALKED TO THE NEAREST FARMHOUSE WHERE WE RECEIVED ASSISTANCE. THE PROPERTY OWNER STATED THAT OTHER ACFT HAVE LANDED AT THIS LOCATION, BUT THAT THIS WAS NOT THE AIRSTRIP INDICATED ON THE MAP.
