Hi @farmstead, I'm surprised too. I thought Oregon was a pioneer part of the country, so would have a lot of homesteaders. Maybe they haven't found their way on to steemit yet!

Just for interest I googled 'homesteading in Oregon' and found these very interesting articles :

It's a great pity the Homestead Act was repealed!

Everything good gets repealed! Ugh.

I think there are. A lot of homesteaders and farmers but they're still really behind on the times, so they definitely wouldn't have made it to Steemit yet. Even hard to find quality ones on FB!

Wow! Thanks for the links! I found historical docs about my property on the blm one! Been looking for more information!

If we build it, they will come (hopefully).

Good that you found the historical docs about your property.

We haven't had anything like a Homestead Act in the UK. Although our property was created in the 1700's under the Tŷ Unnos 'scheme' where if someone could build a house on common land in one night and have smoke rising from the chimney by morning they would get the freehold of the land :

At least you got the two of you. I might change my name to the lone Alaskan. lol

Hahah I am sure there are others! Maybe they just don't have their location set. I swear I saw someone SOMEWHERE say they're in Alaska! Haha.

We might as well each be in different states since the climate here in Central Oregon is vastly different than Western. Hahaha.

Ah, your not from the Oregon I know. Your from the dry and warm Oregon. I met my wife in Portland, the cold and wet Oregon. lol
Steemit takes a bit of getting used to. I'll get it figured out. Hope you have a great week.

Well i am from the wet rainy part! I just chose sun! Haha

Hi @myalaskadream, I'll add you to the list as the first Alaska entry if that is okay?

That's perfect with me. I'm still trying to find my way around steemit. I'll get used to it. lol

Thank you for the resteem @farmstead.

Of course! I think everyone should know where we can find our people!
