    I love Washington State.
    I lived very close to the US border (Abbotsford, BC), maybe a mile away. I can't remember how often I took the trip via Sumas, Lynden, Bellingham and then along the I-5 towards Seattle.
    One of my favorite American cities.

      I love it as well. I am within an hour of any climate I could ask for, Beach, Desert, Mountains (including year round skiing). Lakes all around, large rivers, small rivers. I can enjoy time in large cities like Seattle or get out into the wilderness. Not to mention some of the best wineries and microbreweries on the planet!

          I have heard that parts of the North East is a lot like the Northwest. I am not sure about the desert area though. Went on a desert hike a few weeks ago. On the way there we stopped in a small town and the lady at the shop we stopped at told us to watch out for Rattle Snakes on the hike. That got my wife's attention.

            I have heard rumors for the last 2-3 years that Rattle Snakes are making their return to the Adirondacks but I have not seen any.I think they would have a hard time living through the winters we have.

              We live on the west end of the cascades and have no rattle snakes. Head east an hour into the desert and they are pretty common.

                Ah, from my neck of the woods... Depending on how far upstate you are. I love the Catskills.

                  The Catskills are south west of us.We live near as in less then an hour from the Adirondacks.I grew up on the border of Canada North of the Adirondacks.Have not been to the Catskills since they closed the game farm.One of the best zoos around.

                                Someone mentioned a few days to get off the island, its only 2hours. but to get out of the province it about 8 so thats most of a day shot already. Driving is not really an option unless your taking EVERYTHING with you then it might be worth while. Me, I am just taking my clothes, my original ps3 cuz I am not giving it up and buying a piece of crap ps3, my laptop, my ereader and my books of course. Getting most of that on the plane with me. Most of the books being shipped. Anything worth over $50 is in my carryon bookwise. ps3 is packed with clothes and pillows hoping it makes the trip in one piece. Laptop in another carryon with my ereader. Have to ship my ps3 accessories which I didnt realize I had so much of, a box which will be shipped right away and i added the rest of my non first editions too. packed a lil willy nilly but they'll be ok and not worth anything anyway. Leaving SAturday. Getting knots in my stomach now...could be the accidental glutening I got but i'd say its nerves. Mainly because I am leaving behind my Murphman and my Nephew. It'd be easier to kidnap my nephew than to take my dog to be honest. no one wants to take him in. I am still hoping my dad keeps him until I get my own place. Rambling again...sorry guys.
