<>Hope everyone is doing great, I'm an outdoorsman, grew up in a small logging town in a rural area of the Pacific NW. I've hunted, fished, shot guns, and stayed on the right side of the bars my whole life.
I have been collecting since I was given my first deer rifle by my father.
Here is a picture of me with my first rifle and my first deer.

And here it is now, 30 years later. It's a lowly J.C. Higgins M50 in 30-06, meat and potatoes...and its the one that will never be sold. The ol man traded a Ruger Blackhawk for it...a Blackhawk he found in a river while steelhead fishing.

I got a bunch of guns. I don't think i'm a hoarder but i'm definitely an accumulator of interesting stuff.
Unfortunately my states gone to hell in a handbasket, and its time to go somewhere where i'm among like minded people. East Texas has been among the best places I've been and thanks to the time I spent doing hotshot driving, I've seen a lot of them.
Thanks again for having me, hope to be typing from the state of Texas soon.

Native Texan, who lived near Spokane for 33 years. Great to be back in Texas.

Spokane is eastern Washington. It can get hot in the summer too. Eastern and and western Washington are very different from each other. Now, if it's the humidity you're complaining about, yeah, not nearly as bad.Wish you'da brought the Spokane climate with you. Man o man..
My mountain was 40 miles north of Spokane, back up in. Summer of '20 it was unusually hot (for there), couple weeks in the 90's, but rarely did the humidity get over 50%.Spokane is eastern Washington. It can get hot in the summer too.

In the 80's I lived in the TriCities, many of us lovingly called the DryShitties. My former mother in law lived in Hayden, Idaho, and we would often drive through Spokane and Coeur D'Alene to get there.My mountain was 40 miles north of Spokane, back up in.
