Factual narrative

On March 31, 2004, at 1630 central standard time, a Cessna 180, N223WH, sustained substantial damage when it veered off the left side of runway 4 (4,996 feet by 75 feet, asphalt), at the Eagle River Union Airport (EGV), Eagle River, Wisconsin. The private pilot was not injured. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight departed EGV at 1530 on a local flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. No flight plan was filed. The pilot reported the airplane ballooned after touch down. The pilot added "a little power" and continued flying for approximately 1,000 feet down the runway. The airplane touched down right of the runway centerline and veered off the left side of the runway. The pilot reported the wind was from the north and that it produced a right quartering headwind.
