Burns to La Pine, Oregon
Daily Mileage: 194

It's always a little bittersweet to reach the tail end of a road trip, so we planned to spend four nights at one of our favorite campgrounds in Oregon. We got lunch in Bend the day we arrived, wandered around Sun River on another day, and met up with friends for lunch in Sisters.
This was our second visit to this state park and we reserved the same site as last time. It's quite large with a lot of space between us and our neighbors. There's no WiFi in the park, but we were able to get a weak cell signal that we bumped up with our new WeBoost (cellular booster), resulting in 2 bars for Verizon and 1-2 for T-Mobile. The shower facilities were clean and private (individual rooms) with plenty of hot water (and no annoying push button to keep the water flowing). We had full hook-ups and the dump station is located at the entrance of the park.
Note: The Costco in Bend does not have a fuel center. However, there is a Fred Meyer with a fuel center, but don't confuse it with Fred Meyers Road when loading the search in your GPS. (Ask me how I know...)
Hwy 20 (Burns to Bend) is
very straight & extremely windy!
Brewed Awakenings in Sunriver
Small inventory,
but look at all those face-outs!
Found something I couldn't live without.
I've always wanted to go to Bend, but I have not gotten there yet. It reminds me a bit of Colorado where I once lived in the 1980s. Beautiful scenery too. I'll remember Sunriver Books.
ReplyDeleteSusan, we love Bend! Fernie, B.C. reminded us of it when we were there earlier this month.
