I'm pulling for your pending sale to complete ! We moved from the coast to southern Oregon (Medford) in March. Traded the coastal beauty for a friendlier climate. We considered from Taos to Albuquerque, but, I guess must be Oregonians by heart.
Well hey, at least you have the Umpqua and Rogue rivers to keep you busy. I could photograph my entire life in Southern Oregon. I think I might be a Gonian at heart as well, but I need my stint in the desert first.
