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.
