Narrative:
I called the on-field FSS from 10 mi out and was given the wind and runway 11 as the preferred runway. After flying a standard pattern, I landed on runway 11 and left the runway to join the wbound taxiway. Normally, I look very closely before crossing an inactive runway. However, I was preoccupied, and crossed runway 18/36 without pausing to look. As I crossed the runway at midfield, I looked to my left to see a twin touching down on the numbers on 36. There was no immediate collision hazard, but I would have felt a lot better if he had called in on 123.6, or at least burned a landing light when doing a straight-in to other than the preferred runway. I will reinforce my habit of looking both ways before crossing any runway.

Title: AFTER LNDG AT NON TWR ARPT, RPTR TAXIES ACROSS INACTIVE RWY BUT THERE IS LNDG TFC.
Narrative: I CALLED THE ON-FIELD FSS FROM 10 MI OUT AND WAS GIVEN THE WIND AND RWY 11 AS THE PREFERRED RWY. AFTER FLYING A STANDARD PATTERN, I LANDED ON RWY 11 AND LEFT THE RWY TO JOIN THE WBOUND TAXIWAY. NORMALLY, I LOOK VERY CLOSELY BEFORE XING AN INACTIVE RWY. HOWEVER, I WAS PREOCCUPIED, AND CROSSED RWY 18/36 WITHOUT PAUSING TO LOOK. AS I CROSSED THE RWY AT MIDFIELD, I LOOKED TO MY L TO SEE A TWIN TOUCHING DOWN ON THE NUMBERS ON 36. THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE COLLISION HAZARD, BUT I WOULD HAVE FELT A LOT BETTER IF HE HAD CALLED IN ON 123.6, OR AT LEAST BURNED A LNDG LIGHT WHEN DOING A STRAIGHT-IN TO OTHER THAN THE PREFERRED RWY. I WILL REINFORCE MY HABIT OF LOOKING BOTH WAYS BEFORE XING ANY RWY.
