The picture of the falls is breathtaking!

Never been to Oregon, but it certainly looks beautiful.

Are you near the coast or inland? Closest I've ever been is Sausalito (I love the sound of that name, so I use it instead of SF).

When you say you're 60 miles from the nearest town, do you mean to even buy a quart of milk or a loaf of bread?

Sorry to be so nosy, but I'm facinated by your story. We run to the supermarket everyday, and sometimes twice a day, but it's only five minutes away.

Glock........Port Orford is beautiful. How soon until you retire? And are you prepared for cool, damp Oregon coast weather? :-)

Rotti...There is a little mtn. store about 15 miles from us...but the items carried are VERY limited and VERY VERY expensive. We have become such good planners, listmakers and shoppers we never have to buy anything there.

We live inland...in the So/Central Cascade Mtns. Have you ever heard of Crater Lake? We live about 30 miles from there. We have lived here approx 15 years total (2 different times). But when hubs retires (about 3 years from now) we will be moving. So we are enjoying our time here immensely.
