Drop Everything And Visit Bend Oregon

Justine and I just got back from a mid-week jaunt up to Bend, Oregon and I must say, Bend kicks ass! The city is clean, vibrant, and very well put together. There are tons of great restaurants and pubs. The night life is happening. but not out of control. There are so many breweries, distilleries, and pubs. My liver needs a vacation after our trip. The area surrounding Bend is insanely spectacular. Bend sits on the edge of the Cascade Range. To the west is 10,000 ft peaks and to the east is scrub desert. Options abound for outdoor activities, pretty much anything a person could want is in your backyard...except for surfing...

We went to catch a John Butler Trio concert. The show rocked my socks off. We were front row center. The band was three feet away, I've never been to a better show.

We spent a couple of days in Bend, then drove through Eugene, and then down the Oregon coast.

Expect a full trip report in the next couple of days complete with pictures and stories...
