Monday, 16 April 2018 – Bend Downtown and More Chores

This morning we went to Lowes to get pop rivet tool and rivets to fix loose screen door screen. It has pop-riveted clips that had broken causing the screen to rattle badly while driving. After that we drove through downtown Bend and then to the Old Mill District. We then went to Bend River Brewery. I had a 6-taste flight of beer that was fair and Donna and I shared a great burger. The restaurant has a nice view of the Bend river. It snowed like crazy while we were in there.  As a matter of fact, we had intermittent snow showers the rest of the day. After lunch we drove by Flyte Camp. Flyte Camp is the company featured in the TV show Flippin RV’s.

We then found a RV supply place that had a no-kink hose and a Tow Defender I was planning on buying online. A Tow Defender is a rock guard that goes between the coach and the car. We then went to the High Desert Museum. The museum was nicely done and focused on the early settlers and Indian history. They had a few live animal exhibits including Porcupine, Bob-Cat, River Otters, Birds of Prey, and reptiles. A good part of the museum was outside and a pretty forest setting.
