> actually drive across much of the west> 75% of it looks like pic rel> nothing but diseased pine treesIs this the true beauty of the west people shill on here? How can the East even compete?
>>2782617>driveGet out your car you lazy oaf.
>>2782618> more dead pine trees
>>2782617>How can the East even compete?easily
>>2782617You're right, it's terrible. Also it's full.
>>2782617to be honest i have no reason to compete with anyonemy neck of the woods has kept me and my father and his father etc in berries, mushrooms and all nature has to offer for generationsthey say grass is always greener on the other side of the fence but i have never even left my country in my 40+ years and im perfectly happy
>>2782617>one picyup. thats the entirety of the Western experience. good job OP.
I'm actually starting to think the west is fuller than the east
>>2782617West is full, a desert or full of predators that will buck break you. Stay in the east.
>>2782617Thats a burn and those are spruce
>>2782621kino
>>2782617>goes during fall>wonders why the trees are bare
>>2782674you would think that...
>>2782617>>2782619Fun fact: you are the disease killing the trees.
>>2782705you clearly don't go /out/ if you look at that picture and assume it's fall. try looking again. the trees are literally rotting. not burned, not shedding due to fall. DISEASED! Go back to playing videogames.
The west coast is far superior but nothing beats the east in the fall
>>2782752Just the coasts? What do you think about inland west?
>>2782752That could easily be a pic of the Lorane area in Oregon.
>>2782787I was just gonna say myself that Oregon comes pretty close. I was there a few weeks ago and when I drove through the Eastern Cascades between Eugene and Bend it kept reminding me of visiting my family in Appalachian PA when I was a kid.
>>2783567>and when I drove through the Eastern Cascades between Eugene and Bend it kept reminding me of visiting my family in Appalachian PA when I was a kid.I've done that drive too between Eugene and Bend and it's such a diffeent world it doesn't remind me of Appalachian PA at all. This is Appalachian PA.
>>2782617Rocky mountains isnt your hippie lush green bullshit. Its called having an identity and being arid cowboys
>>2783569> cowboyslmao. 99% of people who wear cowboy boots and hats have never ridden a horse in their entire life. they just look like gay strippers of retarded larpers with their clean ass clothes.
>>2783568The trees don't look like PA trees but there's something about the geography itself, the angles of the hills and valleys and stuff that reminded both me and my dad of Eastern mountains and especially driving from NJ where my grandmother lived into PA where the rest of my relatives were, which I guess was more through the Poconos than the Appalachians proper though the final destination was within them. I guess I should also say that it was only on 20 and 126, we came back on 242 and that was a totally different story.
>>2782705nigga those are pine trees, they stay green all year
>>2783605This is further West than that. I don't get out to the Poconos as often as I should. Anything nice there?This is over by the West Branch Susquehanna River in Clinton County.
>>2783608Honestly I haven't been since my grandmother's funeral in 2010 so I'm not a very good person to ask. I remember it being really nice when I went as a kid but things have changed a lot, my grandmother's small quaint town has turned into a suburb of Scranton, cousins' hardware store in another town a bit further out got run out of business 5 years ago by the big boxes, etc.
>>2783612Scranton has some fascinating hills within 1-2 hours drive - but the city itself is a bit dilapidated.
>>2782752Fall in the west can be pretty kino. Got some snow last night
>>2783622That somewhere in OR? I know the higher elevations around Bend got some snow yesterday too. It was gorgeous there when I visited earlier this month and the full fall color hadn't even kicked in yet, sadly it'll probably be gone by the time I'm back next month since snow is already falling.
>>2783622Fall in the east can be pretty kino, too.
>>2783628What's it like down in those trees?
>>2783630steep as fuck, loose rocks, logged-to-shit trees, dense grasses or something, it's not easy to walk through, but it's not as bad as scrub you get in drier, even higher elevation parts of the regionthere's well maintained trails - mid state and black forest and a slew of less well maintained trails, frankly there's trails everywhere in all directions this part of pa is kinda crazy like that, most don't go anywhere interesting but if you were autistic and wanted to put together weird long loops you could have a lot of fun
>>2783633Sounds amazing. Been to some places almost like this in the midwest but not quite as dense or vast. How about the wildlife?
>>2783634kinda varies, tons of deer, interesting different colorations of deer, some more grayish brown here than the usual chocolate kind, saw lots of solo big bucks, maybe some elk, tons of birds making noise but didn't see any big ones, but if you go to a canyon USUALLY you will see a lot of birds flying around, hawks, eagles, ravensa lot of distinct birdcalls though where I was the other day >almost like this in the midwest the midwest has plenty of pretty slightly less steep slot canyons in ohio
>>2782617I like it here (Oregon)
>>2783626No. It snowed all across the northern Rockies yesterday.>>2783628This is my favorite season for sure. The critters are restless. Fishing is still excellent. The rifle hunters are not out yet. And the weather can be summer or winter on any given day. But you got to be careful, the Griz are hungry. Keep your head on a swivel.
>>2783643Ah I was thinking it was West Coast since the anon you replied to had mentioned it.
>>2783636>>2783636Why are you using a stock image, retard? Oh right, because you live in a section 8 basement apartment in Portland, paid for with your autism dollars and not a CENT spent on anything else but coca cola chips and cosplayer porn delivered to your door by Mexicans. Forget /out/, you haven't even been outside on your front stoop in 2 years. Also YWNBAW.
>>2784076That’s actually kinda flattering. That pic was taken on some BLM land near my place.
>>2782617Why are easterners so obsessed with trees?
>>2784660ngmi
>>2783622wow. what a cool place.
>>2782617A friend of mine who moved to Estes Park, remarked on a return visit to the Great Lakes region how lush and green it is from almost every perspective, particularly in the suburbs, where dense green canopies typically dominate views almost to the exclusion of rooftops.
>>2784840* I can still imagine him driving/hiking up the arid slopes of Longs Peak, to 11k feet or whatever. Not for me. I prefer drives through lowland parks, walks where what there is to see is rather close to the ground and highly varied, surprising.
>>2782617Nigga I'm finna call yo BOWL shit out, that look just like the Everglades dumb niggaNo differences between west coast / east coast dumby
