Burns
I live outside of Burns and been here 9 years but have been coming here for over 40 years. I have never wanted to live any place else. The economy, like most rural places, isn't good but the people are great! If you like wide open spaces, sunshine 300+ days a year, mountains, desert, horses, cows, and a variety of wildlife, you will love it here!
We have maybe 2 weeks combined total of temp's of 100 in the summer and maybe 2 weeks combined total of temps below 0 in the winter. This past winter (current winter, I guess) has been the worst in many years for snow but we should flourish come warmer weather and spring with green grass.
May is beautiful here, the refuge is awesome, the Steens are wonderful, it's just a 2 hour drive to "big" stores and we have over 10,000 square miles with around 7000 people in the county.
