I lived in Curry County on the coast for almost a decade. Good conservative ranchers, farmers, and fishermen on the Southern Oregon coast. I miss the weather and the fishing.
I spent some time in the late ‘70s working for the Forest Service in Gold Beach. Great country, good times, but I don’t know if I could take the rainy winters now after 30+ years in Arizona and New Mexico.
