Bend, Oregon, population 78,000 is located near the center of the state. Because the Deschutes River runs through the center of town summer brings outdoor recreation. Later today the river will fill with people who tube, canoe, kayak and fish.
Mornings are cold. Today's started at 45 degrees. Afternoons are warm. Today's forecast high is 85. There are many high peaks around us. Some of the topographical features are the end result of volcanic activty. We are going to explore a lava tube (sans lava) later this morning.
Last night we ate a fabulous meal at Zydeco. It was a Monday and it was mobbed.
Looking ahead on our schedule, we depart on Wednesday morning for Crater Lake. Our hotel is the Crater Lake Lodge operated for the National Park Service by Xantera. Like most of the NPS hotels it's all about the view. We expect great ones. Also, like most NPS hotels there is no cell service or internet access. We will be dark for a couple of days.
