How about the big game hunting opportunity?
Tennessee: Whitetail deer, black bear
Oregon: Whitetail deer, black bear AND Blacktail deer, mule deer, Columbian Whitetail deer, Rocky Mountain Elk, Roosevelt elk, California Bighorn sheep, Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep, Mtn goat, pronghorn Antelope. Plus you might see a moose....
Que the typical Campfire response: Well if you like Oregon so much you should marry it!
Well put Boomer. Don’t forget all of the fishing opportunities for Salmon, Steelhead,Trout,Sturgeon and a lot of warm water fish to go with a coast as well as the cascades and mountains over 11,000 feet to the high desert. Geographically it has about everything that you could ask for but got screwed up by an invasion from California during the Silicon Valley boom. I never dreamed I would leave the place but I will so with reluctance. I have to stay close with a elderly mother and my business. I just means I will have to live away from my home during certain time of the year to make a living.
