Silversurfer, they call Hood River wind city, the Columbua has been known as wind river and they claim HR is the wind surfing capital of something. HR may be to windy to be a good place to fly. The field I fly at is about 35 miles east of Hood River on the Washington side, cross at "The Btidge of the Gods" and go down hwy 14 to Washougal. If your intrested let me know.
