Cave Junction, OR
Cave Junction weather -
8/26/2014Rainfall around CJ depends on where you are relative to the mountains. Some places toward the coast get 80-120 inches. Grants Pass gets around 35 inches, Medford around 20 or so. 65 inches for Cave Junction sounds about right. When I lived there I thought it would never stop raining.
Oklahoma City, OK
Oklahoma City is a mixed bag -
8/26/2014I lived in OKC altogether for about 25 years, mostly because of my business. It's true about not being able to make friends unless you grew up there and/or have kids. People aren't so much unfriendly as they are content in their own little bubbles and not curious about anybody who isn't in their bubble. There are a lot of immigrants, but they mostly stick to their own ethnic communities.
Housing appears to be cheap, however repair costs and insurance are high due to the weather--ice storms, snow storms, hail storms, tornadoes,etc. An average year will see lows of 0 degrees to a high of 110 degrees.
Grocery stores are mostly a sorry lot. The library system is actually quite good. If you're into outdoor recreation head for the lakes, especially Hefner (bike path), Overholser (boat house with kayak rentals), or Arcadia (hiking trails and camping).
Jobs outside of health care, government and oil and gas are mostly low paid. Regulations are poorly enforced, especially in real estate (buyer beware.
