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

chuckle

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%. :-)

And after moving there, you realized that they just sat on the front
porch and watched the corn grow?

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.)
