Human Factors
I was flying into AWO. The winds favored Runway 29 as they were out of 270 at 10 knots with peak gusts of 21 knots. All aircraft had been landing [Runway] 29 all day. I was making all of my turn calls doing laps in the pattern and noticed that there was an aircraft in the patter behind me. They had no lights on; so I checked my Foreflight running on Sentry to see if they had an ADSB beacon and they did not show up. I made a few calls asking if anyone else was in the pattern and repeatedly made my calls Crosswind; Downwind; Base; and Final all landing Runway 29. I incorrectly assumed that anyone else with common sense would also be landing [Runway] 29 given the strong gusty conditions. On Final approach; out of the corner of my eye; I noticed an aircraft to my left coming in on Runway 34. At AWO there is a hot spot on the final approach where incoming airplanes could converge. We were less than 100 feet off a collision course if evasive action was not taken. The other aircraft made no modifications to their course and I immediately climbed 100 feet to avoid a potential collision. I decided to land long to taxi over and see who was flying the aircraft and under what conditions.The aircraft which had two people inside both wearing headsets. While taxiing past them I called their tail number on the radio and received no response.I believe that whoever was flying the aircraft was intentionally avoiding awareness that they were indeed flying and were doing so in a way that endangered me and others in the area.
Single Private Pilot reported a NMAC at this location during final approach.
