Flight and Approach
The pilot had completed a local flight and entered the traffic pattern for runway 25, which had a length of 3,450 feet. During the approach, the pilot reported keeping track of the airplane ahead due to sun glare from a setting sun and a very old windscreen. According to the pilot, these conditions 'almost totally wiped out the runway environment.' The pilot characterized the approach as high and fast.
Landing Attempt and Abort
The airplane touched down just beyond the windsock, then bounced twice. The pilot decided to abort the landing and added full power. The pilot raised the flaps in 10-degree increments. Subsequently, the airplane proceeded to 'mush into the bushes and trees' prior to the end of the runway on the north side.
Post-Accident Examination
Examination of the wreckage revealed that the flaps were in the up position and the carburetor switch was in the 'on' position.
