Narrative:
Entered left traffic pattern at gai for runway 32, no other traffic in vicinity. I was on a visual approach from a VOR approach runway 14. Upon landing I discovered by a small sign in the operations area runway 32 was right traffic: my charts also had a small note to this effect, I missed it. This can be called a learning experience for me to look at my charts much closer in the future.
