I went to Oregon for a few days to look at property.  I want to find my own place, and I thought Oregon might have something I would like.  I did actually find a very nice parcel of land right on a creek, and I am considering purchasing this land.

Even though the skies were sometimes obscured by the smoke from the many fires in Oregon, the state is beautiful.  I used to live in Portland, Oregon several years ago, and I enjoyed my time there.

I don't really want to have to leave Coarsegold, since my friends are here and my business is doing well.  But I need to find a home of my own one day, so that I don't have to worry about being made to move at an inopportune time.
