Minden's your best bet in Northern California in February
as it's wave season (okay, it's just over the state
line in Nevada).

Even aside from the licensing issue, most FBOs will

alot of hoops before they rent a ship to you. Can't
really blame
them, having heard numerous stories of seemingly well-qualified
out of
town pilots wrecking a ship and walking away. They'll
also probably
require you to have renter's insurance. If you're
only going to be
here a short time, it will add up to quite a bit for
not alot of good
flying this time of year.
Your best bet is to try to go to Cal City or Minden
on a wave day and
go up with an instructor in the back seat.
