hello all,

looking to relocate next year to oregon.

wanting to touch base with LF forum folks in grant's pass area or nearby for insight to the area.

looking at the coastline I am boggled by both the near-endless state parks and the number of in-land forest areas!

i have travelled through the area in the past going to portland and into washington state from texas...but never paused for very long - "have 18-wheeler will travel".

wife and i have been "googling" bend, eugene, ashland and grant's pass and taking in the info we find.
we won't know for sure 'till we are actually there, but grant's pass seems to have the combination of weather, population size and "vibe" we are looking for.

it would nice to hear more about the area than just what we have gleaned from the internet. we appreciate your insights and suggestions for settling in.

it would be great to have a LF person to brainstorm/commiserate/learn/share with also.
