Escape to Oregon

We sold our Southern California Home in August of 2006 and moved to Tualatin near Portland. The increasing gas prices and recent fires in Southern California make me glad that I have moved here. My wife and I planted a garden and raised corn, bell peepers and celery. We plan to expand this next year. It helps to offset the increasing food prices. I work swing shift which has prevented me from attending evening peak oil events. I am very interested in week end events. I need to make friends with others who are aware of peak oil and plan for our survival.
