ORIGINAL: Level Oregon seems like a beautiful place, Rich. And yeah, I know what you mean about civilization coming unhinged lol. Oregon is an exceptionally beautiful state...... with crystal clear mountain rivers, snow covered peaks, rain forests, and fabled swimming holes with old-time rope swings that take you high above the river and let ya go. But if you are coming from a metropolitan area and you're used to an expanse of good food, night life and culture.... Portland is your only bet. - R Naw, I'm a country bumpkin lol. I'd like to be close enough to Portland to visit Powell's Books, though. HAR! Let me tell ya....It wasn't long ago that I had the pleasure of visiting both Upshur and Red River counties. The folks I went to visit told me the area was extremely rural - I got there and thought to myself....if they think this is ''rural'' they need to come visit me in the part of Oregon I live...because they have very little understanding of the words ''country'' and ''rural'' - I live on the backside of the Illinois river valley, which ''Outside'' magazine commonly refers to as the most remote river drainage in the US outside of Alaska. - R PS – Powells’ is definitely the best book store I've ever been to - And worth the stop if you're in town.
