[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4510117, member: 19675"] While I'm not up on the actual topography, you could also pick towns like Manhattan (where I once lived) and/or Lawrence Kansas. Both are near 3 large-ish cities- Topeka, Wichita, and Kansas City. Farmland abounds. There are also major military installations in the area. Fort Riley is home of the Big Red 1 artillery unit. When those howitzers are practicing on the range, you can hear the boom rattling your windows 30 miles away in Manhattan. In addition, Fort Leavenworth (near Lawrence) is not just the site of a federal prison, many "intellectual" branches of the Army's operations, and (oddly enough) the gov'ts herd of Buffalo. Apparently, the prison is downwind of the Buffalo herd, making Summers there...fragrant. There are also many missile silos (though that won't help YOU out). There are 2 largish universities in the area- KU and KSU. There's no reason a 3rd couldn't be in the area...or perhaps a satellite campus with a Dean with some odd ideas based on some mad Arab's scrawlings... Manhattan has a small airport just outside city limits- the last time I was there, it still looked like a movie set from the 30's. Bonus: Damon Runyon was born there. His globetrotting life as a reporter and writer could have gained him knowledge of things no human should know...and evidence thereof could have been left in his old hometown. Heck- a party might even encounter him. Gerald B. Winrod, (1900-1957), evangelical Christian and Nazi sympathizer, was from Wichita, Kansas. Perhaps he got involved in that whole "Spear of Destiny" mysticism the Nazis were so famous for...and tried something in Kansas. Perhaps Johnny Kaw (a fictional Paul Bunyanesque character created in the 1950s) was real...
