[QUOTE=lil_n00blett;39787796]that's why it must have been pretttty awesome to be Lewis and Clark discovering this shit for the first time, and [B]without any trace of human impact on the land.[/B] no wonder everybody took off for the west coast ;))[/QUOTE] You do know that Native Americans had been living here for thousands of years, right?
wait what no way so the natives already built all these lumber mills and interstate highways and metropolises before we got here?? what a bummer you do know that native americans took care to impact the environment as little as they could, right

We had to build them with what resources we had.
[QUOTE=lil_n00blett;39788273] you do know that native americans took care to impact the environment as little as they could, right[/QUOTE] The fact that non-native Americans used much more devastating technologies to damage the land does not diminish or eliminate the fact that Native Americans did the same thing. They were people who used natural resources just like we are today. They did not always take care to impact the environment as little as possible. In fact, the extinctions of the North American Megafauna prove that ancient humans absolutely fucking wrecked the ecosystem. This happened long before lumber mills and interstate highways.

i saw the sun today and started to get alarmed and confused, but then i looked at the other side of the sky and breathed a sigh of relief when i saw the heavy grey clouds heading towards us.
Can we discuss north-west England here too? I seem to have been mislead.
pretty sure England is small enough that you don't need to separate it into even two sections, let alone something as specific as the northwest
[QUOTE=lil_n00blett;39788691]pretty sure England is small enough that you don't need to separate it into even two sections, let alone something as specific as the northwest[/QUOTE] There is a very apparent dichotomy to England though.
well yeah, definitely. i was thinking as far as local events and politics and what have you goes, england is much smaller than the U.S. Either way though, this is the american northwest thread

how's the music scene around the northwest these days?
lots of hipsters, lots of people playing "indie" music. fleet foxes are cool though. [editline]4th March 2013[/editline] it's interesting because every time i go by the moore theater in seattle there is always a line of people with giant beards and flannel jackets. it's like a damn trucker convention whenever something is going on at the moore.

ok i spokane
Spokane is a cool city that I get to go to only rarely. It's got the closest Panda Express!
god I would hate to live in eastern oregon/washington. I love having them there as part of the state and they're nice to visit when you want to, but to actually have to live there. it'd be like living in idaho
[QUOTE=Tark;39792000]Spokane is a cool city that I get to go to only rarely. It's got the closest Panda Express![/QUOTE] There's a Panda Express in Billings now. [editline]4th March 2013[/editline] I'm not sure if you're closer or what. Spokane is the biggest city i've ever been in. I guess the central park thing near the canals is neat, and marmots are fucking goofy, but you get just a teeny bit away from there and it just seems like a bigger version of Billings that north korea apparently hates for some reason.

A portion of the road was through a forest that I would have to assume is Wallowa National Forest. Though the real beauty on that trip was SR129/OR3. That road is amazing. I've also never seen a minivan haul so much ass.

Shit, well, I've never been to Billings personally but It'd be nice actually seeing this fine states biggest village.
It's right in front of Hastings.
Greetings fellow North-Westerners, some guy from Spokane here. Yes our drivers do suck, I've never seen someone stop at a green light until recently.

Where does Alaska fit into this?
that's way too north jk babe lets chill in this thread
[QUOTE=m3m0d;39804498]Where does Alaska fit into this?[/QUOTE] Unless you wanna hang out in the canadian thread, this is the closest regional thread you have. I say welcome aboard.
Yeah, might as well add them to the op later. There's not a whole lot of them anyway, it's not like they'll be clogging up the thread.
first montana, now alaska? i vote we annex hawaii into the northwest empire next, i hear they have much nicer weather.
california can have those nice-weather bastards if your beach isn't too cold to swim in 11 and a half months out of the year then you just get the fuck out of this thread ya hear
[QUOTE=yawmwen;39815227]first montana, now alaska? i vote we annex hawaii into the northwest empire next, i hear they have much nicer weather.[/QUOTE] "nice" weather. I'd hate to live there really. If I'm gonna be in a hot area, I'd want it t not be so humid.
