Pendleton?

Not necessarily information about airstrips or airports, but more general info about a greater area or a route of flight.

Pendleton?

Anyone spend much time in or around Pendleton, OR? I have a job opportunity there. I've only been there twice in my life, once simply driving through, and then last year we made a side trip there for the day...on a Columbia River cruise with the fiancé's parents...

All we saw was the Underground, the blanket mill, and Burns Saddlery (made me want to get back into horses, so long as I had a trust fund...)

Certainly striking distance to Idaho, and two hours from one of my favorite places on Earth in NW Montana...

Cold in the winter, hot in the summer. Has the Pendleton Roundup Rodeo, huge party. Small town feel. Good place to live.

PM sent. Thanks everyone! Also, I'd have to decide whether to hold on to the 170 or move on to the early 182 like I've been threatening to do for a little while.

You would be closer to skybobb. We would be closer to the Minam Lodge, Big Creek, Owyhee Res. and the Hilton Hotel. Get over here you will like it. Bob
