Pros:

  • Better views of Mt. Hood, HR Valley, and the Gorge,
  • Less crowded, especially in that there are fewer annoying tourists and people just stopping off in the middle of a trip down 84 or 35,
  • Still close to Hood for skiing, the Columbia and other rivers for water sports, and national forests for various outdoor activities,
  • No state income tax,
  • Super underappreciated wineries (personally I really love Cor and Aniche, both of which have views to rival even Stave and Stone, but without the highly commercialized almost Disney-esque vibe),
  • Neighbors are super helpful (at least mine are),
  • Can literally look down on Oregonians in HR.

Cons:

  • Need to go to HR or the Dalles for most shopping,
  • The Bridge of Death,
  • Neighbors are super helpful.

It's honestly so beautiful around here that comparing views starts to feel like debating which Bach concerto is the best. In any case, whichever view is better, you're a way better photographer and I wish I could capture what it looks like over here in Underwood half so well as you do!
