Just moved across the US!
on: August 10, 2018, 06:16:10 PM
3000 miles from Florida to Springfield, Oregon.

Carried my custom Charge XTI all the way across but didn't grab many photos, drove about 14 hours a day other than a half day stop in Iowa.

For once in my life I've got a clean slate when it comes to fishing, I've done for fishing but nothing cold water.

It amuses me that you think the water in Oregon is cold!  :P

Congratulations on the move though!  Any special reason, or is that something you can't discuss openly?   :police:

Wow!
What about personale belongings?
Is it possible/affordable to move furniture and such?
Or are you better off selling and rebuying??

If I had to drive that far, i'd be through 10 countries at least ...

oh and don't forget to update your address for the "don't lose me" idea that was going on a few months back

We moved out here with another couple and are sharing a 3 bedroom townhouse.

They moved so they could attend the University of Oregon, I'm technically done with school so we just took the opportunity to make a change.

After 10 weeks of Field school digging in the swamps of Florida I was definitely ready for a change in climate!!

Because I had field school, the other couple got out here a month ago with a 15' box truck and their 2 vehicles. They brought most the large furniture. We met them up here last week, we took my truck (the red one in photos) and my girls car on a trailer loaded to the brim with the rest of our stuff.

You have no idea!! Lol

We show up and they are in a "heat wave"..............it's 94°F which I guess is hot? But there's no humidity and plenty of wind. It's incredible.

Funny thing, saw your name, saw the thread title, and my first thought was "dude you're going to miss the fishing...."

That said, going by calendar photos Oregon in the Fall is one of those places I would love to see  :cheers:

Cold water = waders, don't miss those, but looking forward to your next fish pics  :cheers:

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! Yes, 94F is HOT here. Springfield a a nice town between the Willamette and McKenzie rivers (good fly fishing). Eugene is just across the river and home of the fighting U of Oregon Ducks - perennial foe of the University of Washington Huskies (my alma mater).

Congrats on the move! My family has been debating on making the move to Oregon as well. Beautiful country with plenty of fishing and hunting. What more could we ask for!
