The pilot said that he was landing on a dirt road, which is utilized as a backcountry strip. He said he was landing with a tailwind, and landed long and with too high of an airspeed. He said the road turned, and the airplane departed the road and encountered rough terrain. Subsequently the nose wheel bent aft, the left wing was bent aft, and the top of the left wing was wrinkled.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to select suitable terrain for landing. A contributing factor was the rough/uneven terrain.
