I'm originally from SE Washington. Tri-Cities.
Moved to GA in 85. I still miss the light, dry air. Humidity here is soooo heavy. I also miss the wide open vista views. You can barely see across the street in GA. It is almost claustrophobic. It really gets to me when I read about all the pacific northwest rides on TE. They sound so inviting.

Congrats on the new bike.
