the cascade range





With plenty of riding, both in flat farm land, and in the hills and mountains, water sports of all kinds, rock climbing spots in city parks, and a whole bunch of killer singletrack trails, not to mention great local characters, cool bike shops, a brewery, an amazing local coffee joint (that will add a little "holiday cheer" to your coffee at no extra cost) its going to be hard to beat as I travel east looking for the next place to live for a while.

I'm so thankful to Cousin for showing me this place, now if she would just buy a house I can live in for free we are all set!
