If I didn't have such deep roots and attachments here, I'd be up in the Cascades somewhere around Sisters, La Pine or Chemult so fast, OSP would be still looking for the person who burned up the highway next year!

Good morning Rob.
My only problem with your area is that you are still just a little too close to the P.R.E. and Sisters is a little close to Bend. My cousin has a house in La Pine, but they are only part time residents. If his wife had her way they would live up there all the time. I can live with snow. I may gripe about it, but I can live with it! My wife and snow, well that is another story.....................

Yep, something like that.
I'll never forget when they actually filed a lawsuit to try and take over all of the power generators on the N. Umpqua River. These supplied a lion's share of the power to central Douglas County as well as a lot of other areas of Douglas County. PRE was trying to claim "eminent domain" over them saying their need outweighed the interest of the people of Douglas County and the private power company that owned them. For once, they got their hands slapped and lost. But it cost the tax payers several million dollars.

It really is.
Got to run. Need to go back out to the ranch and split wood. Might go work on the big tree a little too.
I'm certainly glad that my sister and BIL invested in a 30 ton hydraulic splitter...................................

At least I only pay their flat KW/hr rate for power, since I am independent for water.
In Pewgene, the fees they add to the utility bill, take it well over $300 a month on average.
There is talk of Lane Electric taking over EWEBs rural customers up-river..........One can only hope.
