Thanks for the leads on the other WA towns, I'm not familure enough with Washington to even know where to start looking for horse friendly areas.
We tend to be more on the conservative side in our values, but are very self sustainability minded and very interested in organic/environmentally friendly farming. We are all very outdoor types, never to be found strolling malls or outlet centers, lol. We are very big on fishing, camping, hiking, horseback riding/trail riding, just to name a few.
LOL, I never swam in swimming pools until I moved down to California. We would just go to the river 
I have always found it funny that Californians always say the swimming pools are cold, while I grew up swimming in the icy rivers of Oregon  . I never think the swimming pools are cold enough, lol . |

pw72, how's the wind out there in Madras/North central Oregon? Does it regularly get over 20mph?
I grew up west of the Cascades and we only ventured to the east side just a handfull of times so I'm not too familure with the weather on that side of the range. We don't mind snow, we lived a couple years in the Tehachapi mountains, but I have become weary of the wind living in the Mojave desert  . |

I think I found an answer to the wind question Weather Station History : Weather Underground.
The wind seems fine out in north central Oregon, not like here in the Mojave desert as it regularly gets over 20 mph and often 40-50 mph (yuck) or even 70-80 mph at times  .
The graph shows it staying under 25 mph at the Terrebonne weather station, not bad at all |

Yes, I don't think the wind is any worse in this area than other areas east of the Cascades. If it is, not by much.
