Captain;

As with you, and others, our kid lives a long way from home. We live in Vegas and she lives in Tacoma. Like you, we visit and do what we can to make life easier. We have also considered moving north because we have a grandson.

I'm a desert rat and don't much like Tacoma in the winter, but I do like the Medford area. Part of my motivation is to get out of the southwest. The long drought, the increasing heat, and the unsustainable population growth leave me a bit spooked.

I have enjoyed your road trips and fearless entry to cf instruments.
