Hi, Plowed, welcome to TBN. There's a lot to learn here. You may also want to check out Orange Tractor Talks. I frequent both and have picked up quite a bit of good info.

Well I handled Oregon for many years as part of my territory and I always drove it, yet I had to look up where Leaburg was. I drove Santiam Pass many, many times and I recall the cutoff to 126 but never took it. Once I was going to go that route when I was going from Eugene to Bend, but plans changed. Welcome to TBN!

Good Morning Plowed. I'm over here on the "dry side" of WA. I've made a few trips down to Bend. Never came over the mountains to your area. I, also, had to look up where Leaburg was. Welcome to TBN and the forum.

Heck, I live in Oregon, and I had to look it up.

Turns out, it’s just west of Nimrod.

I had to check that Nimrod was a real place in Oregon and not someplace Bugs Bunny dreamed up for Elmer Fudd to come from. :shocked:

Ahh shoot. Nimrod is just a quick 15 mile run up the river from my place!

Yup. Leaburg is not much of a town. We’ve got a gas station and a good vet, so we’re good. Springfield is less than 20 minutes away, followed by Eugene if you keep going another 15.

When we bought our property and built the house 7 years ago, I thought I’d hate the longer commute to work. Turns out it’s actually really nice. In the extra 15-20 minute drive from the office, I have more time to unwind and decompress before I get home.

Since living out here, I’ve become active with my local volunteer fire department. Also very rewarding, as well as important when disaster strikes 20 to 30 minutes away from the nearest medical help. Plus, I get to blow the horn on the fire engine...

You live in a GREAT area. I would love that area if I never had to go into Eugene. :laughing:
