B4UDIE
That was a motto the visitors bureau had come up with a year or so back. They had it displayed like a license plate I thought it was brilliant, I think they retired it too quickly.
I have Internet friends that I converse with on other bulletin boards/chat rooms/forum, whatever. I remember 2 in particular that I used to talk to, they had plans on visiting "someday".
One died this spring after a very short battle with a brain tumor, the other died unexpectedly in his sleep 2 years ago. I had met both of them in person several years ago. About 20 of us from this one forum decided to meet face to face, it was 2003. We met at Lake Texnoma for a Texas style BBQ, we met, he ate, we had a few beers and made life long friends.
Visit in the summer, visit during winter I guarantee you'll never find a place like this.
May, June, July are the best summer months to visit August can be anything.
On a happier note this is one of my neighbors stories.
My neighbor (Jim) was a general contractor in Oregon 30 years ago. He had a family member that had moved to Anchorage and that family member invited him to take a few days off and come up and help him add a deck to the front of his home. Jim made the trip up to build the deck, he built it, decide this place was to beautiful and never went back home.
