Oregon? Did someone call?

Here how about these three?







Last one is a fixer upper...

Location? Mostly within a half hour drive of Bend which currently is sporting about 70k population. Downside? Described by locals as 'poverty with a view'. Just not a whole lot of well paying job opportunities. But nice place to live if you like the country. We got mountains, lakes, desert, woods, rocks, etc. Everything but a ton of people and rain.

I live in Longview, WA. It's not Oregon, but it's right on the Columbia river and only 35 miles from Portland/Vancouver. The views are spectacular.

Longview? I had thought you were up closer to Seattle? Hey that is not a bad run for me. I was just in Portland this past weekend so just a quick trip over the river. (Talked to you the other day about '85 30th T-Bird parts.)

And middle of Ohio can be nice. I grew up in farm country PA.

cottage grove is a beautiful place... i dont know what kind of truckin u do but i DO know just out of cottage grove itself is a logging outfit warehauser (SP) as far as computer technition you would be probably easily be able to find something along those lines bout 20 miles north of cottage grove in eugene/springfield area as i said before is probably around 200-400k population maybe more.  I do also know there are more trucking opportunities than just the logging outfit, i remember it as it is where my uncle used to work before he passed away and now my cousin runs his truck for them. cottage grove is a beautiful place several lakes near by with several rivers.  Lakes would be Cottage Grove Res. and Dorena Res.  getting to the deeper mountains wouldnt be hard. and the coast isnt too far.  cottage grove area is set in a mountain type back drop with hills.  eugene/springfield is approximately 15-20 minutes north.  there is another smaller town bout 10 minutes north of cottage grove by the name of Creswell.  Roseburg oregon is about 45 minute drive south of cottage grove.  as i said feel free to PM me or message me on yahoo and i can see what i can do to help the locating and moving process work faster and better for you.
    Sincerely,

Live across the river in Vancouver, WA It's an over-the-bridge drive and about 1/2 the cost of living, not to mention no income tax and far cheaper car tabs.

No joke. OR residents are the most taxed in the Union. They have a gnarly income tax and huge cost of living. WA residents only have a sales tax and Vancouver is about 50% cheaper then Portland. They are separated only by the Columbia River and 2 bridges (I5, I205).
