Narrative:
I was told to taxi to runway 24 via taxiway a. I pulled out of parking, misread taxi sign and headed a short distance to the right. I thought taxiway a crossed the closed runway. After taxi onto closed runway, I was told I was wrong to turn around, which I did. My problem is there were no other planes on taxiway or runway. It seems to me, being I was only 200 ft from tower, they could have told me long before touching runway. This could have prevented the whole thing.

Narrative: I WAS TOLD TO TAXI TO RWY 24 VIA TXWY A. I PULLED OUT OF PARKING, MISREAD TAXI SIGN AND HEADED A SHORT DISTANCE TO THE R. I THOUGHT TXWY A CROSSED THE CLOSED RWY. AFTER TAXI ONTO CLOSED RWY, I WAS TOLD I WAS WRONG TO TURN AROUND, WHICH I DID. MY PROB IS THERE WERE NO OTHER PLANES ON TXWY OR RWY. IT SEEMS TO ME, BEING I WAS ONLY 200 FT FROM TWR, THEY COULD HAVE TOLD ME LONG BEFORE TOUCHING RWY. THIS COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE WHOLE THING.
