Anybody near Klammath Falls, OR?

I am coming up there next week to look at a business. Had some questions about the area.

Will stay a night or two probably local hotel.

Appreciate any locals around.

 

I used to go to the college down there, same with Relentless Taco (we graduated about six years apart). One of us should know something

 

So you guys still live close by ?

Will send you PM

 

He's in Nevada, I'm in northern Oregon about 5+ hours

I should mention there are a few people in Medford and possibly K Falls now that i think about it. The Klam people aren't very regular on the forum but the Medford guy posts occasionally. Post up in the Oregon/Washington BS thread and you'll get to know people

 

Thank you

I will send you a PM and post on that thread

 

I'm from Medford, a little over an hour from Klammy Balls.

 

Thanks Rogue, PM incoming

 

I lived in KFalls for 4 years while at OIT til 2010. Between living it Corvallis, central NY and now Richland WA I have to say KFalls rocked. Love the location. But WA is pretty cool too.

 

Looking at a business up there

Was up there
Got some local help

Will be back next week again

For the 4 years you lived there did you need 4wd for winter ?

 

I lived there about 4 years, 2007 to 2010. Winter '07 was rough, REALLY needed the 4wd. Went so far as getting studded winter tires.
The other winters werent as bad, but with the many hills along the edges of town I needed 4wd and decent M+S rated tires with good tread

 

My work mostly would be on homedale

I need to see if I can find a cheap place there

Seems flat land there
Downtown and 6th is far as I need to go
And airport

If my 01 prerunner with snow tires can't handle it , will have to lease a 2017 utility 4wd AC to make it work

 

Down there it's really flat, should be fine with snow tires and a bit of sand for weight in the back(and traction aid if needed).
I lived up on the hill above the Home depot there and drove back and forth up to OIT on the daily, plus over the pass on 140 back and forth to my parents place on the coast. 140 and 97 hills/passes can get pretty rough in the winter.

 

I have lived in Klamath Falls for the last 7 years. Having 4wd is definitely helpful during the winter, but as the others have stated you can get by with good tires and smart driving. There are a few hills that are tough in 2wd but most can be avoided.
I actually live off of homedale, let me know if there's anything else you're wondering about.

 

Still in K falls Shaun? How are things treating ya?

 

I live in Roseburg but am currently trying to find a house in Grants Pass. Actually will be working in Klamath Falls next week but will be driving my work truck. Haven't explored much of that part of Oregon yet, but definitely know there are some cool areas around there to check out for sure.

 

Yup, still here. Probably will be for a few years at least. Things are going well, the wife and I bought a house a couple years ago and have our first kiddo on the way.

 

Snow tires and sand
Will do !!

 

Stay in touch if you work there

I will post here if we can make the deal happen

My issue is flying back and forth from la with such bad flight selection

On Tuesday we are flying to sacrament o and driving

 

Oh man !!!
