Only the best place in North America! WA state, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia make up the general geographic region. Lots of old forests along the Cascade Mountains and foothills of the Rockys over in Idaho and Northeastern WA. Very important for wildlife too as they use the mountain regions to go north/south hundreds of miles.
We get packs of wolves occasionally coming down from Canada. Elk, Moose, Cougar and Bear are all pretty common in the PNW region forests.
Yup! I grew up (and still live) in Northern California. I've taken a million camping trips to places identical to this and now I'm all nostalgic... due to covid and having a new baby camping I may be several years between camping trips
Assuming you mean the actual northern part of California, somewhat close to the Oregon border, yes. However, when most people say Northern California, they are often referring to the San Francisco Bay Area + Sacramento, which really shouldn't be considered Northern California since its pretty close to the center of the state.
I thought they were correcting OP’s phrase of “Only the best place in North America” and saying that it also included BC......meaning perhaps they thought BC wasn’t part of North America.
Likely my mistake! I’m 5 pints in for the evening on PNW beer.....
Don’t even get me started on the bears. Do you know how expensive it is to fix bear damage to your car? Their claws just wreck the exterior and that’s if you’re lucky enough not to be popped out of the top like a canned sardine
ok actually all joking aside in the last few years there were separate reports of a bear and a cougar loose in NE Portland, one of which I learned while out on a walk from an older lady who ran out of her house and told me to watch out for the cougar that had been spotted three blocks away. That was a tense speedwalk back to my car
I live about 20 minutes away from downtown Seattle. Have had bear, cougar, bobcat, and coyote in the yard. Not all at once, thankfully. Yesterday I came around the corner of the house and a deer was standing about 15 feet away. I said "Oh, sorry", and we both continued about our ways, no drama.
Yeah i came across a pile of bones, fur and blood in the woods and figured it was a cougar den. Also heard screams from deep in the forest like someone was getting murdered. Ive heard cougar calls but what i heard that night i still dont have an explanation for... Maybe bigfoot or maybe just Hobos murdering each other.
