I am going nuts..

I know, I just posted that Portland countdown timer...now things might be up in the air again...life is just mean that way.
The number one thing keeping us here, is the fact that the mountains happen to be in our back yard...well not literally, but 10 minutes away...we love the accessibility.
We can go snowshoeing, XC skiing, back country ski touring, skijouring with our dogs, hiking, and mountain biking, and it is all so close.
In Portland, we have to drive to all of this. Sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes an hour+.
All comments are greatly appreciated.
