The country up here is so incredibly beautiful. Sad how things are going socially, and politically though. With the socialists in charge like they are I fear it means terrible things for this natural beauty.
No doubt about that! I loved this area since I was a kid living in Fla, and saw the movie, North to Alaska!
I grew up in West Texas, but always loved watching movies that took place in the mountains and forests. Jeremiah Johnson was a favorite when I was a kid, and mainly because of the scenery. Back in 2005 I had moved back up to Oregon from Texas. I had trouble getting work, and when I did start working I had to save up a month's worth of paychecks to be able to afford a place to live. So on my days off I would head out into the woods to pitch my tent. The rest of the time I had a place not far our of town up in the woods where I parked my car to sleep in. One night while out in the woods I started getting a little depressed about my situation. Then I got to thinking about where I grew up, and how much I dreamed about being in the mountians one day. As I thought about things I realized I was actually living a childhood dream. The rest of my time living out of car was not bad at all. I did appreciate getting into a house when I did, and God opened up a situation where I got a little furniture.
It's good to be in the natual environment that you are happy in. I like to visit the desert and such, but don't want to live there.
