Narrative:

Landed at strange airport after tower closed. Focused on taxi to unmarked tie-down area while avoiding crossing other possibly active runways, as other aircraft were in pattern after our landing. No ground personnel or line personnel were on duty. I became distraction and forgot to cancel IFR until approximately 45 mins after parking. Called tul ATC supervisor to apologize after canceling with FSS by phone.
