First time contributor. I'm oh so close to 1500hrs and just need to get my CMEL this fall. Flying our 120 and having fun taking care of the rest of the time. This was two weeks ago on a trip with my husband to Beaumont, KS and another couple (in the Super Cub). If you are not familiar, Beaumont is in southeast Kansas and is pretty much a ghost town - I think there are 50 residents, plus the hotel. There's a 2300' grass strip running alongside the east edge of town, and once you land, you taxi down the street to the hotel. The hotel has a great diner inside as well, though it's not open in the early part of the week. We went on a Thursday night in time for dinner, spent the night and flew to nearby Stearman Field (1K1) for breakfast before returning to KC. If you need time, you might as well have fun getting it.
