Not sure about that one, but that was one >recommendation as well. Oregon is weird because it has a very wide mix of different locations with very different cultures in the same state and while you might like the far eastern part, you won't like the state politics as a whole (because neither side does). You would like Wyoming if you like long distances with nothing. It is almost the opposite of Europe in terms of just being able to feel like you are nowhere. I find that pleasant for a while, but not long-term. You might like Alaska in that Alaska is filled with people who have an intense interest in personal independence. Unfortunately it is also filled with people who have problems who had thought that if they could just get to Alaska that everything would be fine, and so they brought their problems with them to Alaska. I don't know the Dakotas at all really. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."
