Anything west of Iowa has water problems.

I take it you have never been to Oregon? Here is a hint: our two state school mascots are The Ducks and The Beavers! The volume of the Columbia River (which seperates Washington State from Oregon) is larger than all other rivers in the US, except the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence (which drains the Great Lakes!) With a much smaller basin. Why? It rains all the dam time here. There are rivers EVERYWHERE, even the dry part of the state has rivers.

Well, we were speaking of remote places to survive the coming collapse and I was asked about MT and WY and responded with places in the upper Midwest. On the Great Plains, to the West of Iowa, there is a huge area with water shortages.

There was NO mention of the Left Coast and none of OR, because, frankly, we all know that it is full of liberals who have managed to make land use quite problematic in the rainy areas, west of the mountains. East of the mountains, IIRC, there are water issues.

But if you prefer OR as a place to live out times of civil unrest and shortages and liberal domination, why not tell us why?
