Was just talking to someone about the state of Washington for a minute, but they have since gone.
They mentioned something about 'MOA'
the Olympic MOA, have fun when that's hot.... they are a pain MOA's.... when they are hot, you can go in, but expect life to be tough
What exactly is MOA? Presumably something to do with mountains?

Cheers.
