I am in Eastern Oregon, about smack dab in the middle of the east side right on I-84. Contrary to the popular belief this part of Oregon is not rainy, we are pretty dry and get our fair share of snow. There is alot of very solid project cars and parts over here. Kind of a lone wolf over here as far as rat rods but that just makes it more unique. There is alot of good outdoor activities here, my favorite steelhead fishing area is Hell's Canyon. (the deepest river gorge in North America, deeper than the Grand Canyon!)
