Jay,

Come to Oregon (or-a-gun...not GONE! I'd love it! grin

Seriously though, if Oregon is not too far out, you might want to
consider this area. Salem (KSLE) has a nice towered field that has 2
runways and the city is trying very hard to get commercial service in
here. There is nothing on field for lodging, but there is some nearby,
but our republican, business-friendly mayor and city council would be
happy to help, I am sure. Nearby businesses (within walking distance,
or on field):

Oooh! Salem is 30 minutes (?) south of Portland.
If you go there, you will not return to Iowa.
Mountains to the east of you, ocean to the west of you.
Okay, the occassional forest fire messes things up.
The climate is good, the activities are outstanding and the politics are
a little wonkie.
