Thanks for the kind words and the invites. I joined the free compliments community just now. Seems like a good project.
Both Oregon and Nevada have some beautiful spots. We opted to head east out of Arizona rather than north for a few reasons. One of them being the water struggles. We ended up in the Smoky Mountains, which is amazing in its own way. We were fortunate enough to grab a small plot of land for a reasonable price. But it needs a LOT of work. So, it'll be a project. But we're excited for it.
Good luck with your own goals. Sounds like you're working on some great stuff.
I really can't wait to check out more of your adventures!
