[pct-l] CA/OR

[Ken Powers]

I was raised in southern Idaho. They have the same feelings about 
Californians.

On the ICT this year we were looking for NFS maps for northern Idaho. 
Someone told us that if we told one shop owner we were from California we 
would be given directions that would send us in the wrong direction.

I remember the word "Californicate" which is used in sentences like "Don't 
Californicate Idaho." Seems the whole Northwest has those feelings.

but I guess I would have to keep it a secret
where I came from, even if all I can afford is blue tarp yurt in the
forest.
