160 to 7,000 in an Hour / by Erik Sudheimer

Our transformation to become Oregonians is complete, at least according to the DMV.

The plates may say Pacific Wonderland but my lungs still say flatlander.

Our house sits at around 160 feet above sea level but in just over an hour we can be scrambling through stunning landscapes at 7000 feet.

I’m a pretty fit person but I’m learning that I’m “sea level fit.”

Is acclimatization to elevation our next hurdle to becoming Oregonian? With such amazing landscapes and easy access, I’m gonna work on it.
