Is transportation and status in US (Visa, green card) all taken care of? If so, I’d say it would be easier to search once you arrive, lodge at a campsite and find better residence before winter.

I agree with Tommy. Many offered advice in the begining. Some was dismissed. After reading your daddyd post in another thread, I am understanding your situation a little better. I do not know if there is anyone here with a house, in Oregon, that leaves it vacant. Is looking for someone to stay there to keep an eye on the place. Would suggest that you post some of your rock finds, photos of where you have prospected, etc., for a while. Get to know others here.

Find a decent RV for an affordable price right now? Good luck. I just sold a "vintage" 35' park model trailer that needed a bit of restoration for $8k, smaller more towable ones are generally over $10k if they don't leak. And don't even get me going on tow vehicles, they are double what they were a year ago if you can even find one. Best value out there right now for short term cheap living is a well loved low miles full size work van. Cheap trailer scams are huge on FB marketplace, "selling for a relative" with the same ad in multiple cities.

OK let's just move on we will talk about rocks I am going to have to go in another direction I do have friends all over the world because I am retired from 35 years in the youth ministry and I have asked God for forgiveness but I have been in prospecting for many years and I do want to make friends and live out the dream and have my own claim and that is how I want my life to end

daddyd , you have been given some very good advice, both about your search and how to deal with folks here. I have been involved in online forums - and their predecessors, BBSes - since the late 80's. Over the years, not much has really changed; it's easy to get off on the wrong foot. Even though time is starting to be of the essence for you, my advice to you mirrors what members Tommy , stephan , fernwood , and others have posted... Slow your roll a bit, post some topical stuff for a while. Post a picture or three of your pickings/tumbles/slabs/etc. (I, for one, would love to see a photo of those chocolate opals you've mentioned.) Get to know who is on here and go from there.
My other 2¢ is a bit sensitive: You don't say what your ethnicity is. Two of my adult grand-daughters are both one quarter Filipino. I know that in Northern Virginia, there is a LARGE Filipino ex-pat community. Perhaps, if your are Filipino, you could try to find a similar community in Oregon to assist you with your search/move...?
ETA: Personally, I would avoid Craigslist like on online plague. I haven't had a good experience there in 5 years. Not to demean those few honest folks on there, but I suspect that you and your situation would be like lighting a big "SCAM ME" sign over your online head.

If you mean posting pictures here on the board, you need to set up an account with Cloudinary. It is free. Here's the tutorial. Follow it step by step exactly and all you will need to do is click the Upload File button in the upper right, navigate to your picture and it will upload automatically.
