I had planned on retiring here at Fort Hood, but this assignment opened up and my wife has family in the Seattle area so off we go, maybe. Haven't heard officially yet. If nothing else, at least I can play in the snow with the Jeep but I'm sure there has to be some places close to offroad. BH, where did you live? I need to find something close but more rural and I need to have water nearby to fish. Thanks, KJ
