The site of the old saw mill, of which only the foundations still exist because of a fire, can the seen on the edge of town. Dee is characterized predominantly by pear orchards dotted with farm houses about every 1/2 mile. The community is situated atop a small plateau unique in the immediate vicinity, with unobstructed views of Mount Hood from nearly every household or building.

“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)

Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
