Nice pictures everybody, and yes on a clear day I can see 7 different mountain tops around me, including Adams, Rainier, and several others.

Diaita, that place looks incredible, I would consider myself lucky to live in a place like that.

small rivers not a whole lot tho. Climate, windy, windy, and windy lol. We have wind turbines every where out here. I have only lived here since the beginning of july though. Since I have been here this summer we didn't really get over 90 to 95* that often, most of the time we were in the mid to high 80's. Right now we are getting down in the low 30's to high 20's at night and 30's to 40's during the day. We have had a couple warm days and really cold days the last couple of weeks. I have also heard that we get an incredible amount of fog around here in the winter, freezing fog as well, so we will see.
Over all though it is a nice area, I like here. People around here are incredibly nice and friendly, but it is also a very small town so you have to be careful with what you say and who you say it to.

Where I am at you can rent a 3 bedroom house for 600$ give or take a few $. Food isn't too bad, I usually drive to The Dalles or Hermiston and hit up their big stores like Walmart once or twice a month, is about a 1 to 1.5 hour drive to get there. Otherwise we have a small grocery store that has most things we need. I like it here, it is a nice area, and really nice people. And we arent too far away from bigger city's like Portland Or, or the Tri-Cities Wa.

Seem nice there where I live I have water everywhere,Im surrounded by it.Theres the big river where I catch walleye trout and salmon and small mouths.The city it self sucks its a smallish town about 40k inbetween two of the worst cities for crime in the nation Flint and Detroit.The big city crime and drugs is spilling over here now.We have high unemployment about 13% and the winters are cold as fk!The summers are usualy mild though.I have arthritis realy bad and climate is moist not good.The state of Michigan if you go North of bay city is pretty with lots of rivers.I want to move cause the cold and snow is hard for me to deal with but the states natural beauty keeps me here,not to mention me and mrs family`s are here.The cost of living is so so inbetween reasonable and expensive.A nice 2 bedroom rents for $750 a month.Hamburger is $3.75 a lb and milk is $3 a gallon.Gas is $3.15 a gallon at the moment.
