The relocating to Grants Pass, OR from Flagstaff, AZ is nearing completion. We have just purchased a house and the closing will be July 31st. Then the moving of cars takes place over a two month period. Looking forward to trailering each of them (four total) over 1,200 miles one way. Going to be an interesting summer and early fall.

The home we bought has four car garages which in reality will hold all five of my cars. The 3rd garage has natural gas heater, wired for 220v, room for air compressor, work benches, drill press, chop saw, sander, and all the rest of the good stuff. The fourth garage has natural lighting from six floor to ceiling windows. The other garage is a double car which will hold the cars normally used daily. Finally, I have enough space to store and work on my project cars: 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce and the 1974 914-6 conversion (3.2 Carrera engine and suspension, etc.). Now the fun begins including having room in the back for the trailer, etc.

We should be settled into Grants Pass by the end of summer around the start of fall school years.

Looking forward to getting involved with the 914 activities of Oregon and Northern California. I did grow up in Nor-Cal so there are many roads I want to revisit as well as take on the new roads of Southern Oregon.

Will I miss Flagstaff, AZ?? Yes, but there new adventures waiting for my wife and I in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.

Grants Pass is NOT the PNW!! Not sure how that reference came up.

I lived in Seattle for 10 years, but I grew up in grass pants. As it says on the arch.... "It's the climate"

Good place to live. A little redneck, but good place to be.

All of Oregon is considered part of the PNW! Whenever I tell anyone that's not from Oregon that I live in Oregon, They automatically say "how do you deal with all that rain"? Hell, I'm 280 miles south of Portland (8 miles from the California border) in the High Desert!

Nope, sorry. I was born and raised in Oregon. But no way in hell is the valley part of the PNW. Sorry, but you have to go more north and west to claim that. Check out eastern Oregon some time. Hardly PNW.

Sorry, didn't mean to argue. But just sayin.

Let's get Andy in here to argue that the Bay Area isn't NorCal and this thread will be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I'm trying to think if I've even read about something that mattered less... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The Pacific Northwest is a region in western North America bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and, loosely, by the Rocky Mountains on the east. Though no universally agreed upon boundary exists, a common conception includes the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, and the Canadian province of British Columbia. Broader conceptions reach north into Alaska and Yukon, south into the coastal and mountainous regions of Northern California, and east into Idaho and western Montana, and western Wyoming to the Continental Divide. Narrower conceptions may be limited to the Northwestern U.S. or to the coastal areas west of the Cascade and Coast mountains. The variety of definitions can be attributed to partially overlapping commonalities of the region's history, geography, society, and other factors.

Relax fellas, as soon as things get more settled here with the new house, job, kid, I will come back for a visit and do a clinic.


Oregon is totally PNW and NorCal includes the SF bay area (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
