Hey JR,
That's me, buddy. I actually live on the Willamette River, in the thriving metropolis of Butteville, Oregon. Check it out via Goog maps (duhhhh).

is a very special place. At least to me it is; it suits my passions very well. I am totally into cooking, and I am surrounded by vegetable farms, hops farms, and vineyards.
Very close to / adjacent to Champoeg Park. Besides the fact that my heritage is English (my Welsh friends hate that about me), we've more than a bit of shared history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champoeg,_Oregon
By the middle 1840s, the question of the possession of the disputed Oregon Country between the United States and the United Kingdom began to loom large. On May 2, 1843, a meeting was held at the town to determine whether a provisional government should be established. The measure passed by 52 to 50. A group of nine representatives was named to create a provisional government with Champoeg as its capital. A petition to the United States Congress was drafted and sent to Washington, D.C. with William Gilpin, who had helped draft the petition and came to the Willamette Valley with the expedition of John C. Frémont. On his journey eastward to deliver the petition, Gilpin evangelized for the settlement of the Pacific Northwest, helping to spread "Oregon fever". He presented the petition to Congress in 1845. The question of possession of the Oregon Country was settled the following year in the 1846 Oregon Treaty. When the Oregon Territory was organized in 1848, however, Champoeg was not chosen as the capital.
