Aug 8th - Owyhee Lake, OR, to Bend

​We drove from Eastern Oregon to Central Oregon. It was fun to see the mountains growing in size as we approached. After three days in the hot sun, we were not pleased to see that our campsite in Bend had no shade. For a small fee, we were able to upgrade to a much better site amidst the shade of mature trees surrounded by a nice grassy lawn.

Met friends Dick and Janette at Monkless Belgian Brewery above the Deschuttes River. Had a delicious meal while catching up. Then we walked along the river to watch surfers playing on a manufactured standing wave in a whitewater park in the river. Dick and Janette gave us great tips on hiking, yoga and paddling in the area.
