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.
Basically correct. The climate here has been compared to
the Napa Valley and checking climate maps, I can see why.
Bend is colder, dryer, and a lot hotter during the summer, plus it has been devastated financially. We like to visit
Bend, and that means VISIT, then we come home to the Rogue
Valley which is so different from the rest of Oregon.
The weather changes at Roseburg going north, from there up
you have the classic gray winters with a lot of rain.
