>>2848406A for sure. I like a lot of things about the East Coast but you just can't beat the vast amount of public land or the serious alpine terrain available in the West.
>>2848653>You westsuckers point to anamalous areas like the sequoias or yellowstone but you don't live anywhere near them. That's a vacation, it's not where you actually are. Whereas every county east of the rockies has interesting and beautiful things and actually has foliage.As the other anon says, speak for yourself. I'm literally walking distance from a national forest, less than an hour or so drive from pristine mountain lakes and forests, true above the treeline alpine terrain with glaciers and everything, volcanic hellscapes, multiple varieties of desert, and more, and day trip distance from Crater Lake, much lusher forests, some of the most fertile farmland in the country, picturesque coast, and more. There's so much variety packed into Central Oregon alone that I kept being reminded of a vidya map when I first moved here because it felt unrealistic for such diversity to exist in such a small area.
On top of that, a ton of the land in question is BLM or state forest land where you can basically do whatever you want too - shoot guns, camp wherever, ride bikes or 4x4s all over, hunt and fish, and so on, along with all the normal /out/ shit.
