I am an Oregonian. I may reside in the E-85 producing MN, but OR is my home. Every day...without fail, my heart literally aches to be back home. It's been 2 years since I have seen my home turf. If you could hook me up with some friendly Oregon pictures I would love it. I lived in K. Falls for 16 years, and Brookings for 12. Portland residents....nevermind.

Were those yote/shooting pics from just recent or years past? I'm planning to hit the Fort Rock/Christmas Valley for p-dogs here in a month or so. Can't wait!

Why nevermind to the Portland residents? They have beautiful scenery too... http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww156/danielisright/gaypride.jpg http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww156/danielisright/DSCN0889.jpg http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww156/danielisright/revolution1.jpg http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww156/danielisright/latinonight002.jpg Yep...you understand.

| We really are lucky to have such a beautiful state here in the Northwest. Oregon, Washington, and Idaho all have fabulous places. I spent a week rafting the main Salmon river in Idaho, The Rogue river in S.W. Oregon, and the Owyhee in S.E. Oregon...truly gorgeous country. |

We live in one of the best places in the world in my opinion. Regardless of shit economy. I'll take a shit economy with this beauty over a great economy and mid-west suburban jungle any-day. |

I will admit, this place has really grown on me since moving here about 10 months ago. This is beautiful country and there is SO MUCH to do here, at any time of the year, that we aren't sure my wife and I are moving back to Michigan when her schooling is complete even though both of our families are there. I've truly enjoyed the time I've spent in this state. |

Finally just saw the sun after a 20 day stretch of rain. I'd quote Bill Murray from groundhogs day if I could remember the line. Enjoy that sunshine in Minnesota while you can... There were plenty enough times this winter where i woke up to a thermometer reading -28. I'll trade for your cloudy, rainy days any time. If i remember when i get home today, i'll post a few pics of my old OR stomping grounds. |

As promised. Sorry it took me a while. Stupid blizzard on Wednesday knocked my satellite out of whack.
me: 
my ARFCOM namesake: 
We borrowed my buddy's 16 foot Tracker and hauled ass out to Point St. George lighthouse one day. I think it's about 14 miles from the Brookings port. Here's a few in sequence: 
We got there just in time for sunset. It was a dark trip back to the harbor! EDIT: All those little dark figures on the right side of the lighthouse landing are actually 800-1500lb seals. They were so loud, their noise drowned out the sound of the 50 horse Johnson on the back of the boat. A decent days catch: 
I'll dig up some more here in a while. |
I was sure missing the Brookings Christmas this year!!!
