The Basin is the only really close place in your area. If you fly there and meet people you may find some smaller clubs with there own fields. I was flying at the Basin in 1960 and it was a little crazy even back then. Last time I was there for a fly in it was a total zoo but considering it's in the valley with a high population it isn't too bad. There are some pretty good clubs and fields south of you, way south of you, about an hour and a half to two hours depending on trafic. Hemit is one of the good clubs. You can pull up the AMA field/club finder and see if there are any closer for you.
