Narrative:
Basically there are no visible runway markings on this runway. I have never been here before and I will never go back again. At 500 feet you are looking at what looks like a road in the middle of nowhere and have to decide if you can land. We have airline service to this place so I assume it must be ok. Paint is so faded on runway that you can't make anything out. No numbers; edge marking; centerline marking; or anything else. No part 121 carrier should be flying to this place.no tower; no radar. Ceiling was much lower than we were told. Reported weather was 6500 sct. Actually weather was 2000 broken; good visibility. Multiple VFR aircraft flying around. Short; skinny runway; no runway numbers; no runway markings. If it doesn't look like a runway then don't land there.
