I grew up in the gorge. Stevenson gets 60-80" of rain a year. It's miserable most of the year. And there is a 10x difference between now and 15 years ago. The woods are crowded. Portland "found it "

Its a good thing you included a picture
. I misinterpreted that entirely.
Of course, the weather anywhere isn’t consistent year round. You can look at climate data to learn the changes.

Sorry I spot burned your honey hole, Irrelevant! The number of wind surfers around the Dalles, now that was crowded.

Portland is a short cheap flight from Boise. Maybe an hour, max.
I know. I’ve been to Portland several times on business including in May. I’d pick elsewhere in Oregon, like Eastern Oregon.

We flew into Portland and then drove down the Netarts. I think you could probably easily get crabs if you take a wrong turn after navigating through there for the first time.

Man, the Willamette valley isn't getting enough love. It's beautiful. The rivers that flow from the westside of the cascades are incredible from the Molalla to all the Santiams, the Sandy and Clackamas, the McKenzie and Willamette. And the rolling oak topped hills with snowy peaks in the background, and the coast only an hour over the hill.
