hey, don't be telling him stuff like that about eastern Oregon. We have had it nice a quiet for many years and we like it this way. we are a nice place to visit, just don't move here. That is what a Governor of Oregon told the people of Calif many years ago.
I went on city-data website several years ago looking at places in Colorado to move in our retirement. Boy, did I run across some snobs who advised me, quite rudely, that that Colorado was THEIR land and they did NOT appreciate outsiders moving in and occupying THEIR wilderness areas, since it would mean less for THEM. One was a guy who stated he had moved there 20 years previously when he had taken a job with a mining corporation. I suggested that a great portion of the land was federal land, owned by all US citizens, but that I could understand their feelings - the native Americans must have felt much the same way lol. I met a lot more decent people than idiots! I must admit. We love Colorado area, and the Yukon is also nice for privacy.
I'll have to spend a few weeks in Oregon now! just out of meanness...
