    Bought a single-wide in Sweet Home Oregon in Linn County. Anyone ever been there? I'm not familiar with that area of Oregon. I've checked the town out briefly last month, and I like it. Nice place.

    Guess I'm officially an Oregonian now. God help me, lol.

    I plan to give this place maybe 4 or 5 years, then I'm selling it and moving to Idaho or Wyoming.

    I really like camping at Cascadia State Park up the road from SH.

    Also you're going to get sooooo fat. There is a seriously awesome old school A&W in Sweet Home that is delicious. They have the car hops and the metal trays that attach to the window. More importantly the food is great.

    Sweet Home is a cute little town and you have the resevoir nearby for water activities. If you ever decide to move on and Idaho is an option I would suggest northern Idaho in the Pan Handle area. Beautiful country and beautiful lake Lake Pend Oreille, Priest Lake and Cour D' Alene along with many other smaller bodies of water.

    My parents and I ate there just a couple weeks ago. Very good food. The closest pizza hut is in Lebanon though....no more hut for me, I guess....unless they deliver 17 miles away, which I doubt they do.

    My aunt and uncle lived in Sweet Home so I spent a lot of time there growing up. Green Peter has good fishing and boating. A&W is the business! Goddamn I miss those cheese curds and a Root Beer Float. As far as pizza goes, I will reach out to my fam and get the word on some recommendations. I've never been a fan of the Hut, so it may come at a premium. I'm a quality over quantity guy when it comes to pizza though.

    Good luck on the move!

    Thank you! There appears to be a lot of pizza joints down there, so I'm sure I can find one to my liking.

    I can't wait to check out the area in more detail. But most of all, going from a $1,000+/month apartment rent payment to a $350/month lot rent payment is going to be FAR less stressful than what I've been living in. I plan to save up for a new car and build my gun collection over time. And start a garden; something I've always wanted to do but haven't had the space or money to do.

    Wookee lives in Lebanon which is very close by. You can find him in the golf course bar watching the Blazers and quaffing a beer or two or out on the course. That course has rabbits roaming about.
    I once dated a girl from Sweethome and that's all I can rightfully say about the place.

    Wait. Were you in the Couv or something? I just assumed you lived in Ptown . Maybe you mentioned this and I forgot?

    I don't watch college football, so no worries.

    As my abbreviated bio next to my moniker says, I live in Lake Oswego which overlaps the small town I was raised in, Oswego. The closest I've ever lived to Vancouver, Washington was when I lived in NW Portland near 25th and Northrup in my teenage years.

    Now now, there are Duck fans that deserve to live also. Okay, they barely deserve to live but let's not kill them off just yet. Wait 'till they slip up then it's Katy bar the door.

    Oh no. I'd prefer that you be a human flesh eating zombie.

    I rented a little studio in downtown Bend for $600/mo. One check. everything included (utilities, cable, internet, etc.) I was right behind the library. We're talking downtown. Man, what an amazing 2 years that was.
