The first guy was a ground controller. I was surprised that he put it
in the system in such a way that other controllers had to ask.

Anyway, the whole point of my query was: What IS the right answer?
When he came back with the snippy "Oregon" I thought that was it. So
I tried the local FSS, the state, the nearest airport and the nearest
VOR.

I should have seen this coming when Oakland FSS's computers told them
that Scappoose was the closest airport.
