It's gorgeous, and a LOT cooler than Phoenix during the summer, due to
the 4200' elevation and nearby mountains that drain off cool air in the
evening. Oh, good soaring, too!

It is spectacular, you just have to go see.

There are a lot of Lava beds in the area, and should make for excellant
thermals.

Just on the east side of the Cascades, it is about 1 1/2 hours to Eugene or
Portland.

Cessna has a new factory in nearby Bend.

By the way, I've worked with Brian before, and he is as honest as they come
and we had a lot of fun.

Is it a long range suburb for the Portland to Eugene sprawl? Is it
growing rapidly? Can a guy buy 40 decent acres without being a
millionaire?
I'm starting to look for a retirement area, and PHX ain't it! I don't
want to get sprawled upon.
