for the record and everyone's reference, this is the kinda thing I'm hoping to find a bit closer to Portland. I'm open to looking in southern Washington too, by the way. Just so we're on the same page

Are you moving to Portland-ish and looking to live out in the wilderness?

plan to start a B&B someplace in that area, want countryside and livestock

Hmmm.. it looks interesting, I'd want to know what time of year those photos were taken though. The trees don't look very healthy, and with everything that you are wanting to do, the health of the land would be very important.

Also, particularly in the current state of the economy, location is key. In general, people go to stay at a B&B because it is near something else that they want to visit (or perhaps it is simply spectacular in and of itself.) Something to look at would be what the local area has to offer your customers...

all things I've thought of, yes. Thank you. I hope to be someplace much closer to portland that way day-trippers and locals have just as much access to me as do folks who fly in.

I found the website I used to check floodplains:

http://msc.fema.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/FemaWelcomeView?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1 Once you find what you want, just click view and you don't have to buy anything.

I was trying to find it for this property, since it fronts on the Umpqua river, but they don't have the exact address, and the "map this property" button goes to Aloha, OR, which is obviously wrong...
