Welcome to Dave's Home Page!

Howdy, partner.  Welcome to the wild west and my little place on the web up here in the Great Northwest.  This page serves no particular purpose in the way of things except to myself to y'all should you be so inclined to check it out.  In Oregon, we're friendly folk, so c'mon in and let's get to know each other.  

I live in the Oregon Cascades, a mountain range that includes the purdy Mt. Hood... a volcano that reaches up some 11,000 feet, which makes for great skiing.  Camping in the local forest is great in the summers as I like to spend as much time as we can to enjoy it.

Portland is the biggest city I'm even close to.  A beautiful city of just the right size to have a little of everything.  The Willamette River runs right dab thru the center of it, and the mighty Columbia River over the top.  Known for its microbrews and pubs, hard to beat it...anywhere. 

I actually live near the small logging town of Molalla.   The town's name comes from a peaceful local Indian Tribe that inhabited the area before pioneering settlers moved in and took over back in the mid 1800's.  Today, the town is known for the Buckaroo Rodeo, held every year on the 4th of July weekend, and for being a speed trap courtesy Molalla's best.
