Tuesday, 17 April 2018 – Tumalo Falls

Today we set out for Tumalo Falls in the Deschutes National Forest. The falls can be viewed from the parking lot but the best views are up a ¼ mile trail and provide up close views of this beautiful falls. The trail was Maverick friendly and he enjoyed a romp in the snow. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

In keeping with the Bend Brewery Tour, today we hit the Deschutes Brewery in downtown Bend. Again I had a tasting flight of six beers. Better today. The food was ok and we really enjoyed the pretzel and cheese appetizer. A nice cozy restaurant with fireside dining.

Oh, by the way.  Studying the weather it looks like our original plan to leave Thursday looks ill advised.  We have to travel through mountain passes to get to about any other destination.  In particular our plan is to go East to the Oregon coast.  All of the passes East, North, or South are showing snow and tire chains required.   It wouldn’t be a problem in the Jeep but I don’t feel like taking any chances in the big rig.  Today I added to our stay here at the Bend Sisters RV Resort and we now plan on leaving Monday.
