You have to hit up “going to the sun” road.
looks cold and miserable and like a frozen desert with gay mountains
pacific nw spots this place the button every hand
Sidewinder yeah I was also just in Seattle and San Francisco...
Honestly I think I was most moved and unexpectedly by Seattle. In every way it just felt like me there. I did have a few woooh and head to the side, ohhh ok.. So this is just how these people are here really I didn't expect that. Overall the vibe in of Seattle I just absolutely loved it. And it was my first time there and it just felt like me. A place where everyone thinks and is whatever about shit that I am too. I kinda fell in Love with Seattle honestly. The PNW and Seattle were unexpectedly Amazing for me. I loved Seattle but I was only there 3 days so it just honestly felt like a Tease a little. And now I want soo much more of it lol. I fell in love with Seattle. It just felt like me there and very much how I think everywhere should be.
Soo genuinely kind and Ive never felt that way about a place I never been to before. People seemed to have the money and the brains in Seattle.. It was not one dimensional at all. I'll add a few Seattle Pics now I took. I loved it the West Coast and they do seem to have so much right it seemed. And the people they were so genuinely kind honestly. I grew up in Jersey for the first 30 years of my life, where people really will tell you to go F yourself.. And often maybe this was sooo different the people were genuinely kind. I loved that about Seattle and that whole PNW area I guess. San Francisco, Seattle, Oregon and then this Glacier National Park were just, for me so amazing actually. I love it so much.

I’ve lived both places, the weather is a negative for both. Funny you bring up the weather as a plus for the PNW. It fucking rains there all the time homie. Not like huge storms but this constant mist that keep everything wet, annoying as hell. Montana is a dry cold which isn’t as bad imo. Training missions where we stayed in the field when I was at Ft. Lewis were some of the coldest/miserable nights of my life. That rain does make everything green though, beautiful golf courses if you can find a day where it isn’t raining.Originally Posted by Sidewinder

@nightmarefish yeah im familiar with how Ft Lewis is right there....
I was stationed down at Ft Polk in La, but interestingly enough and one of my first 'My Country not myself' moments was when I got to Ft Polk. As a part of the new then BCT we were moving a 4th Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division to Polk. The Pentagon was readjusting the Infantry to more efficient units. Like in my units case, they were doing it by adding an extra Brigade to each big Infantry Brigade. Normally in up State NY the 10th Mountain Division was still there but another Brigade was being added to the Big Infantry Divisons like 10thMoutain, 82nd etc..
Because we were moving in, a whole Infantry Brigade Polk needed a lotta room for us. And they sent the Sriker Brigade off to Ft Lewis. And they weren't home from Iraq very long at all, significant others, kids in school, ARMY dont give a fuck then they said go you went obviously. So the Striker Brigade who formerly called Ft Polk home got shipped out to be based in Ft Lewis moving forward. I was a little like woooooh, because they had also justcome home from Iraq. It was weird and there was a lotta drama and hate on base at Polk around all that, and more so from the families non-military ones and all. Because they had to go too. So it was just odd, but ive never been to Ft Lewis there myself but im aware of it. We also have a Special Forces Unit Stationed there (1st SF group =)..
Pretty smart stuff but actually that was my overall read on Seattle too honestly. Seattle struck me as a place you don't play games, either you got or gtfo. Because in Seattle and clearly some people REALLY do have that, ima a fn BoSs swag and it is not fake at all. To a point it actually is a little intimidating, you cant fake and make it in Seattle at all was my read in 3 days. They really got it, and that swag haha.....
Glacier is obv beautiful but compared to other big parks is it worth it? I've looked into going before but seems like a lot of effort that could be applied toward visiting other parks (Zion, etc.)I’ve lived both places, the weather is a negative for both.

PNW weather is the worst -- actually the biggest reason I'm looking to move to Colorado. Being mired in gloom for 8-9 months of the year fucks with your head. I think I could actually stomach downtown Portland being a festering, ruined shithole crawling with homeless zombies if it were sunny and nice. Being around 100% Bernie TDS people is also exhausting. PFA TR would love to know that my TDS is nonexistent compared to the average person here.
Also, not meaning to go full Druff here but the attractiveness of people is easily the worst of any place I've been. Men and women both, just on average much less attractive. The pierced overweight trans with shaved heads that the media loves is not just a caricature.
Outside of all that though, Oregon is truly wonderful.
