Forest? How do you set 50,000 acres of corn on fire?

You DO have a point there. Although, I do think I remember seeing about 3
trees growing in a clump around a farm house, one time in Iowa! g

You guys kill me. There are whole forests here, and lakes, and big
(well, okay, not that big) hills, and some pretty nice river
valleys.

But that's okay -- before I moved here in '97, I thought everyone in
Iowa sat on the front porch playing the banjo...

And Iowa has mountains - just like Illinois!

Oh - and beware the giant grasshoppers.)

Yeah, but if you shaved your back, that'd cut the acreage by about 50%. :-)

As opposed to you Texans, who try to plink high wire insulators with
a .22 from the back of their pickups?

;-)

Actually, to be honest, I can't tell you where the closest corn field
is from our home. It's...somewhere east of town.

(It's easy to find corn from the hotel-- they grow it ON THE FIELD at
our airport! It brings in $20 - $30K per year.)

Yeah, but we do it from 2000 ft away to give the high wire insulators a
sporting chance...

When I was up there, I had a hangar over at C17... It's right in the
middle of a corn field... As you can see from the photo of it on the
AirNav web page...

Marion is a cool little strip. When we first moved to Iowa, ten years
ago, it was almost unusable. Since then, they've repaved the ramp and
runway, and it's just a neat little place to visit.

Unfortunately, it's too close to home for us, so we don't go there
often. (Although we DID fly into Amana yesterday -- an 18 minute
flight. But there is SO much to see and do there, and the challenging
little grass strip, that it makes it all worth doing.)
