I moved to Minden, NV about 6 years ago from just north of San Francisco.

One of the things you may notice about more rural areas, such as the
Carson
Valley, is that folks seem less harried and overall friendlier than those

who live in crowded conditions.

Especially those girls that live out there in the desert in those places
that look like isolated motels. Really nice folks. Didn't one of those
places used to have it's own airstrip? Might be a great place to fly
gliders out of. Maybe even host a Regional Comp there.
