The nice part about the whole Eastern seaboard descending on Oregon, is they're most likely not paying much attention to the dry eastern parts of Oregon cuz everyone loves the coast and green mountain forests.
However, we like the more remote high deserts and inland eastern mountain ranges. The crowds generally stay out of those parts. We live with trees all around us, many of which I have to keep trimmed and then burn the trimmings every spring. We have no problem being away from the Oregon trees (and coastal crowds) for awhile. ;)
(We also live close enough to a coast to see all we want of it.)
