Seen it. My brother was stationed at Pendleton for the better part of a decade. Not my place, nor my people. We are woodlands folk here. The Pacific Northwest is better suited to our particular disposition. If I want wide open expanses I just go visit Nebraska for a few weeks until I get bored of all the cornfields.
You think this entire state (or the entire Western US for that matter) is like the Orange County - San Diego County border area? Seriously?
Never said it was actually. Those were your words, not mine.
Point being, you seemed to imply Eric and I, living in the Bay Area, have no concept of nature or dealing with rural settings. Sure we have big cities here in the Western US, but you get into the back country quick here. Want a work out? I've got some timber to clear out at the back part of my place. Or I could put you to work over at the side, where it's a south facing canyon wall dense with chaparral. Need a defensible space restored over there.
Oh goodness no, we have enough fire wood work to take care of here. Winter is coming soon after all. Actual real winter with feet of snow and ice and shit.
