Buddy of mine adopted Hawk for $25 almost 30 years ago. One of the best mountain horses I've been around. His only regret was not adopting a couple more at the time. I'm sure proper training had a lot to do with how he turned out, though. Hoping he'll be packing out another elk for me this Fall.
Both OR and WA rank as two of the worst states to retire in. They'll gladly tax the sh*t out of you while alive and dead. If you can get past that, there are beautiful places in both states. I love Eastern Oregon, and you would still be within driving distance of your son. Southern Oregon...
