Those were few and far between up in the mountains, in the driving rain, cold and sloppy wet. Should have known there would be a dearth of good hunting vitals at 4500 feet.

Re: [MBZ] subject change: Iowa's a nice place to live
And that certainly is true for the fall/winter months, but you have to admit, when the sun comes out and it warms up, the Portland area is a glorious place. I used to come out early for work and spend the weekends at Cannon Beach (token reference to weapons.) The first time I was in Portland was in December. I can recall driving down to the hotel (Holiday Inn down by the science museum/downtown) and as I descended the hills into the river valley, seeing everything so green around me. It was almost surreal, as I had a real winter mindset in my brain, and to see stuff all green and growing just seemed weird. I like the area south of Portland where all the hops are raised. That's cool - I had never seen hops growing before. Dan --- Robert & Tara Ludwick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know what you mean about the cloud cover.

Re: [MBZ] subject change: Iowa's a nice place to live
Valrico, which is east of Tampa, east of I-75 & 301 about 9 miles, to be more specific. If it wasn't for the flora, fauna and architecture, you would think you were in the Midwest, considering the backgrounds of most of the people who live around me. I don't think there's a native Floridian in the bunch. I don't mind the place in general, I just hate the weather. it's simply too stinkin' hot 6+ months of the year to do anything outside.

Re: [MBZ] subject change: Iowa's a nice place to live
Oy gevalt! You can't imagine the idiots, although many of them are from out of state... Haven't lived in Iowa, but did some work in Des Moines and northern Iowa (for Winnebago in Mason City.) Washington and Oregon are nice in the summer, but I'm not sure i could put up with the cloud cover from October to April. I did a lot of work in Portland and Seattle, and in the summer when the weather was clear they were truly beautiful places to be. I liked Portland the best. In the winter - yuck! I would love to live in San Luis Obispo. That, outside of the Sierra foothills around Auburn, CA, is one of the most beautiful places in the Lower 48 that isn't a national park. I was there a number of times to do some hush-hush work on OTHB radar sites in the mountains above Atascadero. From some of the sites you could see well out into the Pacific in one direction, and in the other, all the way to the Sierras. Dan --- archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Example of idiots?

Iowa is a very nice place to live. I grew up in WV, went to college in SC, and have lived since then in NC, VA, NC again, MA, FL, NYC, VA/DC, and FL once again. Iowa is definitely the nicest place I've had the opportunity to call home.
