RVing with Bryan

An RV is a wonderful thing -- believe me!  We snatched Bryan from Davis to share Oregon's beauty and outdoor adventures with him.  A great week with a bit of everything to please us all.

We hiked the Green Lakes trail with Bryan and then set off to explore Bend.

Enroute to Bend we watched a group of racers from the Senior National Cycling Event whoosh by us.  We had to stop while they rode on; all except one poor hapless guy who managed to ride his bike right into the first stopped car.  Um....

Not 10 minutes later and a bit closer to Bend, we had some weather.  As in hail.  Lots of hail.  Inches of hail.  Sure glad to be in a car and not on a bike!!

Finally to Bend we jumped on a tour of the Deschutes Brewery.  A wonderful time that wraps up with plenty of tasting!

But that weather was putting a damper on our spirits so....we opted to drive south and east.  First to Klamath Falls and then over the Cascades to Ashland.  In Ashland we found a county park with RV hookups -- because here we needed the AC not heat!   We explored the town of Ashland, known for its theaters and professional productions.  Lucky us--we saw two plays:  The Heart of Robin Hood and MidSummer Night's Dream.  Both productions were in the outdoor "round" theater.  Both were absolutely wonderful and such a contrast from the typical camping experience.

Back now to Davis -- sorting out gear and figuring out the next adventure!

Crossing the Creek along the Green Lakes Trail.  That is 1 log!

Here come the riders!  Oops -- the last rider smacked into the red car!

Deschutes Brewery Tour -- barrels of hops!

The QA Lab ....

Off to the theater!

That be a summer hail storm in the Oregon Cascades.
