Why Moore's Valley? Lots of people ask us why we choose to be so far out. A minimum of two miles of gravel road won't help my cars stay nice. It's over ten miles to get milk or eggs. You'll have too much snow to deal with, etc.....Well the picture above kind of says it all for us. Moore's Valley is a patch of beauty where Peggy grew up. A small little valley in the foothills that hosts two major ranchs and a few more platts of land with mostly families who have been up there for quite sometime.
If you look at the top of the tall fir on the left side of the picture, and then go to the nearest point at the top of the timbered ridge behind it to the right, our place is just on the back side of that ridge. Peggy's folks have nurtured the land and trees there to perfection and the home site is surrounded with their efforts.
The drive up from Carlton or Yamhill each time we enter the valley, reminds us how fortunate we are to be going to live up there. It is a quiet place in a hectic world and we can't wait to call it home.

A great writeup with neat pictures. I am drawn to that place as well. In fact, I forgot to mention that my Measure 49 claim for 175 houses down at the crossroads, has just recently been approved. I hope we can work together. There's nothing like good neighbors! Now if some of that stimulus money could fund a new car wash in Carlton, think of the benefit.
Excited for you guys...
A beautiful spot, for sure. We love where we are as well but....we're still looking at snow. It'll go away...sometime. Love the bright blue skies!
