This was the view from our camping rv park. The smoke was not too bad this day when we pulled out. It is the Three Sisters. Beautiful to see in person. S & J
LAVA. LAVA
When we left Redmond to come to Medford we passed the Lava monument so we decided to stop. We took the walk about around. It was really kind of cool. Tons of people have lava rocks in their yards and they call this area the molten lands. S & J
Kayaking The Deschutes
James took to the water with his kayak. This was on the last day we were in Bend. He had a nice casual float before the rapids! S & J
Three Sisters
The mountains in the picture are the Three Sisters. Sisters is also a town in Oregon, smaller than Bend but just as lovely. The smoke from the California fires puts a bit of a view of them but you get the ides. If you can zoom and get a bigger Continue Reading
