I get creeped out if the population density falls too low for too long a time. That is part of my problem with New England: outside of a few cities, there is not much there. I grew up in a contiguous suburb of Washington. The density was urban. I lived in downtown Annapolis for a number of years. It took awhile for me to get used to living outside of town, and it is fairly suburban. I am afraid the great Northwest would be torture.......

I visited Oregon and Washington just last year. Spent a couple of days in Eugene, was driven along the Pacific Coast, a day in Portland, a couple of days in the Columbia River area and a couple of days in, I believe it is called, the high chapparal? Can't remember the town we stayed in but just west of some inactive volcanoes. Did a lot of sight-seeing.

The Pacific Ocean is ice cold. You can't swim in it.

The people I was with were quite taken with the surroundings, which is when I realized that I was just weird. They were talking about how nice it would be to live there, and I was thinking, no way! My dream would be some place like Key West without tourists.
