And just so you know either Oregon or Washington is super easy too pass deq. Wait in line for 15-20 min. They sniff your tailpipe. You pay $21 and go on your way.

 

I wish it was that easy here.

 

I take it they still shove a sensor up your tailpipe, pop the hood and ***** about every single little thing lol. Sooo glad I moved north in 03.

 

I moved up from cali years ago... No smog eugene/springfield area. Wheeling spots... Not many close by... But dunes @ an hour one direction.... Quack attack @1.5 hours the other... Short drive to sweet home for mudfest... And of course duck games right here

 

You settle on a place yet? If not you can check out Newberg. 30 minutes from portland. 40 minutes to browns camp, 20 minutes to trask mountain, 15 minutes to wodburn dragstrip, 30 minutes to PIR, 45 minutes to the coast. Schols are good, I got 2 kids in jr high. And NO deq!! Its kind of in the center of everything that I like. Oh and 45 minutes to Mt Hood. Population is like 25k spread out though. Smaall town atmosphere at least.

 

Dude your amazing that's just like my town. I only have about 20-30k spread across a huge area
