Westward, hos

[Trent Dole]

Tomorrow morning we start our journey from the east to the west ending nearabouts the Portlandia area. Wish us luck and such. There's lots of nifty stuff in that area but I'll ask you guys for reccs anyway.

[Mr. Gundam]

Portland recs? Portland recs.

Toro Bravo, Pok Pok, Lardo, Grain and Gristle for food.

And then the important stuff. Breakside, Upright, The Commons, Ex Novo, Apex, Belmont Station, Horsebrass.

[Phoenix Dark]

I hope you don't get dysentery bro. Good luck.

[Mr. Gundam]

Shoot as many Buffalo as you can. Who cares if you can't carry it all.

It's August. You might want to wait until next spring. Whatever you do, don't take the Hastings Cutoff and get stuck in the Sierra Nevadas for the winter.

There's a bar you can go to across from Pok Pok that gets catered by them if the place is too busy.

Do you like the area?

Area as in Portland? Yeah. Just the selection of food there is pretty dope. People are chill. Transit is easy to use and goes in many directions.

What about Oregon in general? I've never been there, been to Washington a bit. Just kinda thinking about some stuff.

I dunno about Oregon in general, only been to Corvalis for a couple of hours, I doubt the rest of it is like the metro area.

[Trent Dole]

Greets from some hotel in Ohio! So much driving.

Now is the time, man! Also my other half has no idea what you're talking about re: Hastings/Sierra. I'm guessing some Trail reference.

[Mr. Gundam]

Bend is awesome, basically my home away from home. Mountains, rivers, beer, etc. Hood River is great, Corvallis is decent but has some awesome breweries, Eugene is a big hippie college town, Tillamook smells like cow farts but has cheese and de Garde. The entire Oregon coast is gorgeous and Astoria is cool. Baker City is in the middle of nowhere but has a nice vibe and another amazing brewery (Barley Browns).

The further you get away from colleges and dense population areas the more conservative it gets, just like Washington. Eastern Oregon has more in common with Idaho.

[zomgee]

Very helpful. Thanks everyone. 

[Trent Dole]

We nearly moved to the Seattle area but logistics and some other things made OR an easier thing to do. May jump a bit north in the future, who knows. Bro in law lives in Eugene or did last I knew.
