BEND, OR . FOR 2 WEEKS

The drive from our overnight spot, (below), north of Lakeview, OR., to the Thousand Trails Park, south of Bend, OR., was about 180 miles. The route across Hwy 31, past Summer Lake, was one that we hadn't done in almost 10 years. The last time, was in 2001, on our return trip from Alaska. The scenery across this high desert region is very similar to the landscapes on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, which has always been one of my favorite areas.
We arrived at the Bend/Sunriver T.T. a little after noon, and began the search for a space to park the motor home. This park is full of trees, which made the search a little more challenging, due to the requirement of having a southern view of the sky, for the satellite antenna. After driving around the park in the jeep for a few minutes, I found a nice, spacious site, that is shown in the top photo. We're here for a couple of weeks, which will give us the time to explore the area. In the past, we have never stayed here for more than just a few days. If the weather clears up, (raining right now), I plan on doing some of that exploring on my KLR 650 dual sport motorcycle. But, for right now, the sound of rain on top of the motor home actually sounds kind of good.
