The landing area is a private dirt strip that is 1,500 feet msl at the approach end (west), 1,700 feet msl at the departure end (east), and approximately 600 feet in length. The pilot set up for a landing to the east and while on approach encountered an unfavorable wind condition that he stated 'dropped the aircraft approximately one foot below his planned approach path.' The aircraft struck rocks at the approach end and traveled another 500 feet before striking another rock and coming to rest. The pilot did not note any mechanical discrepancies with the aircraft.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain the proper glide path, and his inadequate compensation for wind conditions, which resulted in an undershoot.
