>>2532624>i've never been to eastern oregon in my lifeyou should totally do this, particularly up by Enterprise. it's pretty mild and temperate there in the winter, so it's okay for you to bring your CA wardrobe.
Save weight/space and pack for mid 50's weather year round. Also the locals really, really appreciate forward thinking, culturally diverse people. they might look like sensible, flannel wearing ranchers, but they are just dying to hear your thoughts on the benefits of mass immigration and how much it helps the local dining options -- so be sure to tell them how you're an ally for latinx immigrants. Most of all though, let everyone know you are from california; you'd be amazed at how welcoming they are!
