Read the full NTSB narrative

WHEN THE PLT WAS ARRIVING AT THE UNCONTROLLED ARPT, NO UNICOM WAS AVAILABLE, SINCE THE OFFICE WAS CLOSED. THE PLT ELECTED TO LAND ON RWY 24 AFTER SEEING ANOTHER ACFT DEPART. THE 1ST APCH WAS ABORTED DUE TO GUSTY WINDS. AFTER THE 2ND APCH, THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 1/3 DOWN THE RWY. THE PLT SAID THAT THE WIND BLEW THE ACFT TO THE LEFT. THE LEFT MAIN GEAR DROPPED OFF THE HARD SURFACE & THE PLT INITIATED A GO-AROUND. HOWEVER, THE NOSEWHEEL ALSO WENT OFF THE HARD SURFACE. IT BECAME BURIED IN SOFT MUD & THE ACFT NOSED OVER.
