We are currently in Bend Oregon. It is here where we are hooking up with Eric's sister Karen, brother-in-law Mike, and Eliza, their grand daughter. We are staying at the Scandia RV park. We will be observing the eclipse from here. Though our original plan was to be a little farther north, in the are of 'Totality' to see the 'Full Eclipse' we couldn't be there because our RV Park reservations were lost. Not to worry, we are still having a great time right where we are! On our first full day here in Bend, the girls went and did some retail therapy at some of the local stores, while the guys worked on some chores around the motorhome.
After having lunch at a local Applebee's, we checked out the Big Obsidian Flow - Newberry Volcanic Monument about 30 miles south of Bend, it was a great place to see a huge deposit of obsidian rock formations.
After our afternoon of checking out the Obsidian flow, we had dinner at a local brew-pub with some family of Mike's and their friends who had also made the trip to this area to see the eclipse.
After dinner we took Charlie, Rosie and Rex, for a late night run at the local dog park. It was a little dark, but no other dogs out there to cause any grief! :-)
Safe travels everyone!
Eric and Carol!
