gotta get out of rhode island. the black hole has sucked away too much of my life already.

We visited oregon last year. we came up from california through the redwoods and drove to grants pass. went to a couple of wineries and continued on to crater lake. if you go to oregon make the trip to crater lake. it is the most beautiful blue lake you have ever seen… and its ontop of a mountain. after crater lake we drove up through bend and then cut across the mountains heading for portland.
It was a great vacation and now me and my girlfriend are looking into moving to oregon.

Me and my girlfriend are planning to move to oregon next summer. we have talked about it for 2 or 3 years now. we live in rhode island. we wanted somwhere with a similar climate, 4 seasons, and oregon seemed perfect. last year we took a vacation on the west coast ending in portland. my girlfriend says that crater lake is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. we liked what we saw. if you have ever been in new england then you know what i mean when i say that the people are much more laid back in oregon.
so we sat around bored in RI for another winter and decided that it is finally time to do something about our oregon dream. we opened a savings account, we are looking for new cars that can make the trip, planning the route… but its still going to be a year and a half till we move. till then we’re dreaming of our new life on the west coast.
anyone have any tips about a cross country move to oregon? what to see on the way, or where to find easy work. im an electrician and my girlfriend is a autocad drafter. any tips would be apreciated. thanks
