Bend, OR

We have left the coast. We had a ton of fun with Craig, Charlie, Booger and Jay Jay. We will miss them until we meet them next year.

 Booger after a day on the beach. She loves to chase the ball in the waves.

 Having fun on the beach.

We've moved to Bend, OR. We are at Crown Villa RV park. It's a high end park with nice, huge sites.

But the only bad thing is we didn't get our reservations in time to get one of these nice super sites.

We are in the cheap sites that have gravel. But it's not a bad thing. The park is nice.

The town of Bend is really nice. I think Bend is one of the nicest towns we've been to on this trip of a lifetime. We went to lunch at Cascade Lake Brewery. The food was good. Then the next day we had a really hard time finding the next place we wanted to go to GoodLife Brewery.

 It's a small brewery with a good tasting room and really good Pretzels with beer cheese dip.

The really cool thing they had was a still where they make some award winning Vodka.

This is how they got started. Their first brew setup.

 There are 29 breweries in Bend. We are not going to be here long enough to go to all of them. We may have to come back here to finish the brewery tour. 

Today I am thawing a turkey breast to smoke on the BGE. It's a 3 day prep, thaw it, brine it, then smoke it on the BGE for 8 hours.

 

Live Happy and Always Go Big.
