Eastern Oregon... what can you tell me?

I predominantly prefer metals that are gold, no shiny gray or silver please. Baker city is good for gold.

I’ll try to be simple & direct.

Things I consider and would like to see in my new home:

* Lack of illegal aliens

* Government that is liberty loving and non-invasive (respects self-defense, 2nd amendment rights, will not limit number of dogs)

* Populace that has a large majority of white folks

* Low rainfall measurements, lack of heavy snows, fairly mild summer

* Availability of lots with 1 acre or more of land (either with a home or suitable for building)

* Grocery stores and a hospital within short distance

Thanks to all who read and can offer a firsthand or intimately knowledgeable view of the area.

You'll fit right in. Don't expect a lot of intellectual stimulation - but that doesn't appear to be one of your strong suits anyway. Grab your guns and come on out. Double wides are cheap as hell.

Most of Eastern Oregon . . . . Baker City, La Grande, Enterprise, etc. has received significant snowfall this year. I live in Joseph and it has snowed practically every day since Halloween (including over 1" last night!). You might consider Ontario if you want to stay in Oregon. Milder weather. I don't know too much about the demographics though. Side note: if you are from California, don't tell the folks where you move . . . . the Eastern Oregon "good ole boys clubs" are brutal on Californian implants.
