How far is it from your old place......cos I know your States are massive?
280 miles....these days I'm only interested in anything east from here. I'm absolutely done with the west side!
Pretty sure that OR alone is about the same size as the UK.

So very cool!
Drop a link for google maps so I can snoop around that area, please.
This shows where I live....just go straight East past the RV park....that road follows Clark Creek. Zoom out & keep heading east....it just keeps getting better...all the way to Montana.

Great stuff Scott!
Why did you decide to move to that area.......cos you're still in the same State aren't you?
In 2016, a good friend of mine took me with him on his vacation to the NE corner of OR...I fell in love with the place! My property taxes going through the roof in Portland...So I spent the next 2 yrs. hunting down an affordable residence on the east side of the state. When we decided to sell, I went & bought a $5 For Sale sign....put it up in the front yard....5 minutes later, the next door neighbor came over asking if we'd take down the sign & they came over the next day w/ their realtor & we sold it for enough dosh to pay it off....buy this place here in Elgin....pay it off...& still have enough stash to pay the property taxes here, which were 1/3rd of what I was paying in Portland. Smartest thing I've ever done....love it here more everyday! Besides, the whole left side of OR has turned into an absolute over-populated Sh*tHole...especially the Portland area. Night & Day difference to where I live now.

After recharging the battery, decided to have another go up Clark Cr. rd this morning. It was great to find that the road got a lot closer to the creek as I went along.
The weather was just about perfect....& I knew we were due for a bit of rain tomorrow, so I'm glad I chose today for this exploration.
As I was looking for photo op's, I passed through a coupla farms where there was cattle in fenced fields on both sides of the road....& of course there was a few strays that were feeding on vegetation on the edge of the road....didn't stop for them, but they were sure checking this oddball dude passing by on 2-wheels....lol
I was feeling pretty stoked & blessed, the farther I went, that I picked such a beautiful place to move to almost 5 yrs. ago now. I ended up riding about 6+ miles out before my lame-ass feet started giving me some grief....(MRSA is such a Bitch)....so a return ensued.
After all, I still had the never-ending yard work & back yard to mow before the liquid sunshine shows up. Did almost 15 miles & felt pretty good overall.

That’s a lot faster than @Six30 travels through a school zone.
School zones are marked 20 mph here....plus there's a radar trailer parked right in front of the school....fortunately, its facing in the opposite direction as I was going.
Got it up to 26 mph in about 100 yards... its a rush on a mtn. bike, but not something I regularly do.

About the only noise you'll hear where I live is this mill that has sustained the town of Elgin for many years.... owned by Boise Cascade.
Being the hooligan that I sometimes can be, I ripped through a school zone @ 26 mph on the way back home this morning....

Since Bagger Racing has become such a thing...
Knowing how this mad world is evolving, probably won't be long before this will be the next genre of excitement...

Reminds me of an old boy I used to work with....best way to describe him is a human version of Yosemite Sam...lol
He once told me, when I asked him why nobody ever gave him any sh*t?....he replied: 'Cause dynamite comes in small packages....

Moon eyes were popular here as well....mainly seen them on Drag race cars back then.
