I have to admit, the BBQ is good at Carls at Weiser... but based on the
mission he posted (going downtown, and needing cars, etc) I didn't even
mention it. Nothing "wrong" with the field, but all the other mentioned
caveats apply: perpetual crosswind, narrow runway, parking (and taxiing)
on sod, no ready stock of rental cars, no around the clock service. But
if you have folks in that end of town you are seeing, who can come get
you... or if you want some GOOD ribs and brisket.. Dat's the place!

carl's really is good down-home eating. very good barbq and homestyle
sides by the ton. really good stuff.

should mention, if you do use weiser they try to noise abate for the
neighborhood to the north and east of the field so rw 9 is right
pattern out immediately. if you're going north, they ask you to hang a
right over the freeway (290) till you get enough altitude then cross
back over the field. rway 27 is left pattern. oh and one other thing.
on rw 9, the runway starts 3 1/2 feet from the freeway so try to time
your approach so you come in between the tall trucks.
