Narrative:
Landing small aircraft on grass strip at dusk. The landing harder than normal. I was starting to use the brakes to decelerate the plane. The nose gear hit a ditch or a rock or something. Minor damage to propeller and some damage to fire wall where the nose gear attaches. The FAA has not classified this as an accident at this time.
