Welcome to the boards, Kate! Glad you found us. I am originally, originally, from a small town in Oregon.

Are you a seasoned travel vet or planning a future trip?

You might be surprised - the PNW is actually a T-Punk dense area! Though we're never all there at one time, off the top of my head I can think of a bunch of us - Me, Jake, Jill, Beth, and Jeanie to name a few...

Welcome!
