That is a common question I see asked when any one is on a political discussion and the state I live in comes up..
yeah we are ran by lying cheating democ RATs, the city of Potland is here, and their favorite sons and daughters are all Antifa idiots and BLM members and supporters...
the liberals can't legalize drugs fast enough....transients and thieves have more rights than their victims...
We're close to California state line, so we have an endless supply of more idiots wanting to move here, to worsen the political situation, drive up cost of living...and Lord knows between those liberal transplants and our own idiot liberals, there is no such a concept as too much taxation.....
You have all of that.... but then as an East Coast raised kid.... where Metro DC was home...
There is things and places here that don't exist on the East Coast....
Like this morning.. its 8 o'clock...and standing out on what use to be a golf course behind my house... I am spending time starring at a big 7 x 7 Bull Elk, at less than 75 yds or so, as he is starring back at me.. and looking at his antlers which have to be growing to a height of 4 plus feet on each side of his head... milling around him, is one or two smaller bulls grazing, with the small herd of 25 to 30 cows around them...
yeah, the neighbors house is in the background, but so what.....
Then there was Sunday....Got a call from Roy, asking if I felt like going shooting... Local Range is on lock down by order of Queen Kate... I let him know, so he goes out Quartz Creek Road to find a place to shoot... I'm busy at home today.....days all fogged in here....
About 2 PM, I am done with home crap, and head up in the direction Roy was going to look for a place to shoot.. Going up and up and up a dirt Forest Service Road for 30 minutes... Fog is getting thicker and thicker... Finally ran into Roy... he's off the road parked....tells me its not too far up more that we'd be in sunshine...
He leads me on up the road, and finally the fog thins out and we are under nothing but blue Sky... hardly a cloud in sight.. We are probably at 4,000 altitude, you can see literally for hundreds of miles in any direction... South East, East and North East we can see Snow Capped Mountain peaks...around us all in the distances you can see mountain tops and ridges in all directions..
They each look like Islands in a sea of gray fog, forested tops rising out of the fog that is around us, as far as the eye can see... well over 100 miles in each direction... if you really look, you can see the curvature of the earth in the far distance...
Down in the Fog its chilly and damp... up here its warm and dry, and the temp is in the 70s.....
There is no place like this, any where on the east coast, which was and always will be home for me...Virginia..
Every where you go in this country.... you can find democRATs and those being in charge of all life it seems..
up at 4,000 ft and above a sea of fog down below, they are all gone.. you are away from all of that..
even with all the clowns tearing up forest service roads and the sides of banks, on their dirt bikes...
There is still a sense of peace....and you are away from it all.... and probably 15 miles from your front door..
and then this morning in the fog, there stands that big 7 x 7 bull elk with his little herd, right out your living room window..
this is why I live here.....
