Thanks. Two different places to be sure. No doubt your aware GP is lower, and affected by the pacific influence, with Bend being higher elevation, dryer, more snow in winter, but much less rain during the year. In fact is like 12" vs about 31" of rain...A dramatic difference, as Bend gets more of it's precipitation in the form of snow in winter. From what I have read and been told, most winters are not very bad, can be cold yes, but with only a few inches of snow here and there during the winter, and most of the time the the snow does not last long at all.

Is this basically correct?

We've been there a few times and it's just beautiful...I know their economy has been pulverized in the past 2 years or so....Of course they were growing by leaps and bounds, and housing went up way too fast, over heated, and literally melted down from what I understand.
