Thanks guys.
We are still looking.
Allen You have mail!
Thanks Scott. We will find a place up there. This move is a long way from where we are so it might take a while to find the right area. But we are looking everyday. I found some houses in Portland that I could lease for a year with no problem. we may do that and then get to know each town before making the final decision. It would be easier to figure out from up there than it is from here.
Thanks for the info and please keep any ideas coming. I am keeping notes of everything plus what we find on our own.
The house in Astoria may need too much work, even for me
Still looking though!
