Tailwheel training in Pacific Northwest?

Anybody in the Northwest (WA, OR, ID, western MT) know of anyplace that still rents taildraggers around here? Got to find some tailwheel time to decide what kind of wheels to put on my -9. Best indication I've got from the insurance folks is that 25-50 hours of tailwheel time is a minimum for insurance companies to be willing to insure a taildragger.

Thanks.

You might try asking on the Pacific Northwest Flying Forum at http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/pnwflying. It's not RV-centric, but there are a lot more flyers over there from all over the NW.
