I'll say, Camano Island in Washington state north and west of Seattle and just above the tip of the Olympic penninsula.
I had the privilage of flying on the same fields, but far from the same class, as Bob back in the late 80's and early 90's. His designs dominated the podium spots for many years until finally his message was taken up by other folks and we find ourselves where we are today.
It took the Europeans trouncing "us" in the FAI competitions to make the rest of the world realize that there was something to those designs. A concept that was already very much accepted in the Northwest thanks to Bob.
He hasn't been producing any designs for quite a few years now I understand.
