Not really, Elvis.  We've got (due to those dang mountains) some great 
conditions for "unpowered flight".  As a consequence, we've got a fairly 
active glider contingent here, and several different outfits offering tows.  
Of course, our altimeter readings are kinda artifically high, since we start 
at over 5K feet.  Fortunately, they don't charge for a 7K tow to take you to 
7K feet , just for 2K!
Turns out that Coonts ("Flight of the Intruder" & etc) lives out here, too, 
and keeps his Steer out in that same airport down the road.
