I DRINK ALL THE PICKLE BRINE

I'm a Seattle native currently living and working in a remote wilderness research station in central Idaho. No phones, and 37 miles by trail to the nearest road. Hurrah for satellite internet!

    Throwing in another vote for Lake Kachess and Larabee. Both lovely places, great swimming, your choice of sun or trees. Lots of good memories there. Thumbs up.

    Also, Birch Bay up in Bellingham, and Rathtrevor Provincial Park up in the Nanaimo area. Sitting on the beach at Rathtrevor and watching the sunrise over the glassy Strait of Georgia was one of the best moments of my life.

    Nope. I do check in with my home institution when I'm there, though.

    Any recommendations for a job-counseling kind of thing?

  • places to stay in Seaside & Canon Beach?

    In Cannon Beach, go to lunch at Pizza A'Fetta. Please. It is so choice.

    Plan a beach day if the weather is nice. The dogs will love it! Go to the grocery store and get picnic munchies (bottled juices, nice cheese, whatever). Maybe get an inexpensive kite from one of the local shops (my favorite is Once Upon A Breeze). A delta kite is a easy single-line kite (spring for a nylon one and not a crappy plastic one) that will fly beautifully in damn near any wind. If you want to try a very easy, well-made, and forgiving kite, ask for a Beetle. Enjoy the view of Haystack Rock and don't hang out there when the tide comes in.

    Seaside has a neat arcade and a gorgeous old-fashioned carousel. There's also a long promenade (a mile and a half long) that's a fun and pretty walk, and dog-friendly too.

    I also enjoy a brief trip down south to the Tillamook cheese factory, so I can eat ice cream while I watch them pack cheese, and stock up on cheese curds. But that's just me.

    I am miserably sorry to say I've never actually stayed in Cannon Beach or Seaside, so I can't advise you on lodging. I will, however, be very interested in any other answers people suggest.

    Have a great trip!

    Asteria: yeah, that happened to me exactly when I applied to UAF. Didn't go, but it was pretty tempting.

    By comparison, a friend from Texas maintained Texas residency all 4 years of going to an Idaho school because the residency process was apparently a big pain in the ass. I don't know if the huge students loans that resulted are a smaller pain in the ass, but....
