Bend, Oregon

a stop on the way  near Grant's Pass

Don't think we'll be camping HERE

Treating ourselves to some fancy food in Bend

stumbled across a free concert at the McMcnamins in Bend

Checking out the downtown in search of coffee

So after the Oregon Caves we looked at our map and scratched our original plan of seeing the Umpqua Hot Springs, since it wasn't very on the way.  We noticed Crater Lake WAS on the way so we headed there for the night- only to hit snow and find out that all the campgrounds at Crater Lake are closed, and you basically could only drive 7 miles into the park before the roads were closed too. 
So instead we kept driving and made it to Bend where we got a hotel room and went out to a nice dinner.  Bend was very cute and had beautiful views of mountains all around (reminded me of a more hip/happening Leavenworth).  Our other impression was that it seemed to have a lot of rich people (fancy stores and restaurants).  I wish we could of spent a little more time there.  Maybe we'll go back someday.
