Looking for Oregon contacts

[cruiserpotamus]

Hi! I am planning to move to Oregon in the next 6-8 months and am interested in developing some contacts/friends there. My wife and I have property in "beautiful" Christmas Valley and plan to retire there.

We've been going up there for the last 8 years and have developed a special affection for the area. Anyway...let me know, I look forward to meeting some like minded folks in the general area.

Thanks!

That's a part of the state I have very little experience in, and I definitely need to remedy that. If you have valley/Portland, and to a lesser extent, Bend-related questions, I'm happy to help if I can.

I didn't mean to make anyone jealous... but it is a pretty neat place to do some off road exploring! I'm really looking forward to moving up there. :-)

The area definitely has a wilderness beauty (once you get out a little bit). The dunes are close by and pretty cool!

If you have any questions about the west side of the Cascades feel free to ask.... Christmas Valley is a beautiful place, I may have to head over there again.

I guess I should've spent a little more time exploring the forums before starting this thread...sorry for the duplication!

Hi. Welcome.. I am in Madras Oregon.

That's a big city compared to little ole' Christmas Valley! Movie theaters, fast food...a high school! It looks like a farming area, are there many public lands nearby?

Just an FYI in case you haven't looked yet. Here is the current Oregon User Map. Looks like we have quite a few around Portland!

Yes there is a lot of places to go, China hat is a great place.

I've seen China Hat on the maps. It isn't too far from CV, but ive been spending most of my time up in CV trying to develop a place to retire...so most of my time there is "work".

I may just have to take some time and head up that way. :-)

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but couldn't find a key for the map...so...what do the different color pins signify?

Hi all...

I'm going to be in Christmas Valley over Thanksgiving weekend. If anyone wants to head out that way I would love to meet up with you.

Hello! I'm in PDX but my son and I get out to that area as often as we can. Please check out fort rock area, very beautiful! We do a lot of coyote hunting in that area, so if you are ever in need, please let me know. Enjoy and send pics!
