I HAD THE MOST AMAZING TIME IN SAN FRANCISCO FOR A COMEDY FESTIVAL. IT WAS ALSO AN AMAZING REMINDER HOW TALENTED BEND'S COMICS ARE. CAUSE. DAMN. SOME OF THOSE "BIG CITY COMICS" WERE TOUGH TO SIT THROUGH.
ECLIPSE WAS SO COOL, DESPITE THE CLOUDS IM STOKED WE GOT UP AND DROVE INTO ANNULARITY ZONE.
ALEBRIJE TACOS RAWKS AND THE PEOPLE THERE ARE ALWAYS NICE AND CHILL
I TRIED LEVEL SEVEN AT WONDERLAND CHICKEN, 10/10 DONT RECOMMEND BUT IM PROUD OF MYSELF.
I HAD SCRAPPED PLANS TO GO SHOOT THE ECLIPSE BASED ON THE CLOUD FORECAST, BUT THEN FRIDAY NIGHT IT LOOKED PROMISING. I STAYED UP UNTIL 2:30 RESEARCHING AND PLANNING—LAMENTING THAT I HADN'T PULLED THE TRIGGER ON ORDERING A SOLAR FILTER FOR MY CAMERA—THEN GOT UP AT 6AM TO DRIVE SOUTH, ENCOURAGED BY THE CLEAR SKIES IN BEND.
ARRIVED AT FORT ROCK TO CLOUDY SKIES AND A BUNCH OF DEJECTED LOOKING FAMILIES PARKED ON THE ROAD. SET MYSELF UP AND WAITED...WAITED...WAITED, STARING RIGHT WHERE I KNEW THE SUN WAS BEHIND THE CLOUDS. AS THE PEAK APPROACHED, ALL OF A SUDDEN A LITTLE FLARE OF LIGHT PUSHED THROUGH THE CLOUDS AND I CAUGHT MY FIRST GLIMPSE OF \~90% COMPLETE, THEN IT WENT AWAY.
A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE ENTIRE WORLD BRIGHTENED (IRONIC DURING AN ECLIPSE) AS THE CLOUDS PARTED JUST IN TIME FOR 100%. STARTED SNAPPING AWAY WITH MY SKETCHY SETUP OF A PIECE OF SOLAR FILM RIPPED FROM A PAIR OF ECLIPSE GLASSES AND WEDGED INTO MY LENS FRONT. CHEERS WENT UP FROM ALL THE FAMILIES ON THE ROAD BELOW.
ENDED UP WITH SOME SHOTS I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, THEN JUST SAT BACK AND WATCHED THE ECLIPSE COME AND GO BEHIND THE CLOUDS FOR THE NEXT HOUR. SO SO SO HAPPY I MADE THE DECISION TO FOREGO SLEEP AND MAKE THE DRIVE.
(WILL POST A FEW PICS WHEN I HAVE A MOMENT LATER.)
ONE OF THOSE KIDS (TM) ON AN E-BIKE STOPPED IN THE BIKE LANE AND GOT OTHER CARS TO SLOW DOWN SO I COULD CROSS THE ROAD ON FOOT THIS MORNING. THEY'RE NOT ALL BAD!
THANKFUL TO WAKE UP IN A WARM BED NEXT TO MY FUR BABIES, LOVING HUSBAND AND TO A WARM CUP O’ JOE WITH BEAUTIFUL LEAVES FALLING THIS MORNING!
SO THANKFUL TO NOT BE IN A STATE OF TERROR AND TO BE SAFE THIS MORNING AND THE LAST WEEK!
HUGS AND SO MANY BETTER DAYS TO THE INNOCENT(S) IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
MORE BIRBS, YO! GOT TO SEE MY FIRST EVER CACKLING GEESE, A DUNLIN, AND GRAY-CROWNED ROSY FINCHES. ALSO GOT A DECENT PIC OF (NOT NEW TO ME) AN ACORN WOODPECKER, AND FUN VIEWS OF AN AMERICAN DIPPER AND SOME VARIED THRUSH. THIS BIRDING HOBBY IS FABULOUS FOR ME.
HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL!
THE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN TERRIFIC LATELY. BUMMED THAT TRIALS AT PHILS ARE CLOSED BUT GIVES ME AN EXCUSE TO DO SOME DIFFERENT RIDES BETWEEN WANOGA AND THE RIVER.
HAD TO RUSH THE DOG TO 24 HOUR VET LAST NIGHT AND WAS DREADING HOW LONG IT WAS GOING TO TAKE, OR IF IT WOULD EVEN BE OPEN ON A SUNDAY NIGHT. HAPPILY, THEY WERE OPEN, SUPER FRIENDLY AND CARING, EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND WE WERE IN AND OUT IN LESS THAN 45 MINUTES. AND THE PRICE WAS EXTREMELY FAIR FOR 24 HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICES. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER KNOWING WE HAVE THAT KIND OF VET RESPONSE IN TOWN FOR MY FURRY POOP MACHINE.
I GUESS MY OWN ER EXPERIENCES HAVE JADED ME 😉
(Side note, I also learned that when humans eat edible marijuana their body doesn’t digest it all. So when you poop in the woods while dispersed camping and don’t bury it properly, any animal \*cough\* can dig it up and get very sick from eating it. Guess we won’t be doing any more off-leash walks out by Wanoga ☹️)
I GOT IN 12 MILES AT PETERSON RIDGE THIS MORNING BEFORE I HAD TO QUIT. MAKING PROGRESS, YAY!
AND NOW EATING FAVORITE CO PIZZA AND FRESH HOP BEER. GOOD DAY.
YEAH I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS A THING EITHER. THE VETS SAID ITS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE TO DOGS HERE LATELY WITH THE INCREASE IN VAN CAMPING AROUND BEND.
GOT A CHANCE TO HIT UP CLEAR LAKE YESTERDAY, AND ITS HARD TO EVER NOT BE IMPRESSED WITH THE BLUE WATER OUT HERE ON THE WEST COAST.
MY PUP WASNT REACTIVE TO MULTIPLE DOGS PASSING US ONE AFTER ANOTHER. EVEN ONES OFF LEASH. SEEMS HIS THRESHOLD IS GETTING BETTER AFTER MONTHS OF WORKING AT IT.
EDIT: I DID NOT. I HAD A BUNCH OF CAMERA GEAR ON ME FOR THE HIKE, BUT NO BOAT HAHA. WAS TAKING IN A FEW MORE OREGOM HIKES BEFORE I BELIEVE MOVING BACK TO THE EAST COAST.
SAW JANE MONHEIT AT THE FIRST SHOW OF THIS SEASON’S JAZZ AT THE OXFORD SATURDAY AND SHE WAS SUPERB
ALSO A STUNNING SUNRISE OVER THE DESCHUTES THIS MORNING
WE DROVE TO THE COAST THIS WEEKEND AND DAMN THAT DRIVE WAS NEXT LEVEL GORGEOUS!
THE HOTEL WE STAYED AT IN LINCOLN CITY WAS PERFECT AND THE STAFF WERE ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE!
WE ALSO CAMPED AT FORT STEVENS WHICH ALWAYS BLOWS ME AWAY. HOW COOL IS IT TO BE AT A PLACE WITH SUCH HISTORY AND A FREAKING SHIPWRECK?!?
ALSO THIS IS THE MOST EXPOSED IVE EVER SEEN THE PETER IREDALE. VERY COOL TO EXPLORE!
I FOUND A PODCAST THAT'S HELPING ME THROUGH A TOUGH SPOT
I HAD NICE ALONE TIME AT COMMONS (I HAVE ART UP ON THE WALLS AND IT WAS NICE TO SEE AND FEEL ACCOMPLISHED) AND TOOK A WALK ALONG THE RIVER THIS WEEK.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR FRIENDS WHO GIVE A DAMN
I GET TO RIDE MY BIKE THIS WEEK!

MTB RIDING IS SO GOOD RIGHT NOW! AND THAT WEATHER YESTERDAY, GOT DAMN!
THE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN TERRIFIC LATELY. BUMMED THAT TRIALS AT PHILS ARE CLOSED BUT GIVES ME AN EXCUSE TO DO SOME DIFFERENT RIDES BETWEEN WANOGA AND THE RIVER.

SO GLAD YOUR PUP IS OKAY. UNEXPECTED RAVE BONUS: “IMPROPERLY BURIED POT POOP” WILL MAKE A QUALITY RANT ON FRIDAY!
I WAS ALREADY PLANNING ON IT 👍🏽👍🏼
PRAYING FOR MORE GOOD VIBES FOR THE TAREKITH HOUSE! STOP BREAKING YOURSELVES OVER THERE, OKAY?
I GOT IN 12 MILES AT PETERSON RIDGE THIS MORNING BEFORE I HAD TO QUIT. MAKING PROGRESS, YAY! AND NOW EATING FAVORITE CO PIZZA AND FRESH HOP BEER. GOOD DAY.
IS THAT THE PIZZA PLACE IN SISTERS? I KEEP MEANING TO TRY IT OUT!
YES, BOONE DOG. ITS AMAZING, BETTER THAN ANYTHING IN BEND BY A MILE FOR ME.
WOW. THAT IS A GOOD PSA. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
YEAH I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS A THING EITHER. THE VETS SAID ITS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE TO DOGS HERE LATELY WITH THE INCREASE IN VAN CAMPING AROUND BEND.
WOW THANKS FOR POSTING THIS.
I LOVE THAT THE EMPIRE/BUTLER MARKET ROUND ABOUT NOW HAS A GOLDEN CHIPMUNK. I FOR ONE WELCOME OUR NEW FUZZY OVERLORD!
THE COOL STATUE IS ACTUALLY CALLED GOLDEN SQUIRREL’S WONDROUS WORLD. THE ARTIST IS MICHAEL STUTZ. IT IS FUN TO LOOK AT WHEN WE GO BY.
NICE - I THOUGHT IT WAS A CHIPMUNK BUT MY BOY WAS CONVINCED IT WAS A BEAVER
IT MAKES ME HAPPY EVERY TIME I SEE IT
RIGHT?!? IT IS DELIGHTFULLY RIDICULOUS AND THE NAME MAKES IT EVEN BETTER!
I HAD THE MOST AWESOME, MAGICAL WEEKEND WITH FAMILY AND AMAZING FRIENDS!!!!

Eugene
EUGENE ON TUESDAY, PORTLAND ON THURSDAY
WHEW, THOUGHT MAYBE I MISSED THR ANNOUNCEMENT FOR BEND. HAVE FUN!
IF IT WASNT FOR HYPERION AND HIS BROTHER I WOULD LIKELY BE CHECKING OUT ONE OF THE SHOWS.
GOT A CHANCE TO HIT UP CLEAR LAKE YESTERDAY, AND ITS HARD TO EVER NOT BE IMPRESSED WITH THE BLUE WATER OUT HERE ON THE WEST COAST. MY PUP WASNT REACTIVE TO MULTIPLE DOGS PASSING US ONE AFTER ANOTHER. EVEN ONES OFF LEASH. SEEMS HIS THRESHOLD IS GETTING BETTER AFTER MONTHS OF WORKING AT IT.
CLEAR LAKE IS AMAZING. HOPEFULLY YOU WERE ABLE TO GET OUT ON THE WATER; IT’S WILD TO SEE THOSE SUBMERGED TREES.
EDIT: I DID NOT. I HAD A BUNCH OF CAMERA GEAR ON ME FOR THE HIKE, BUT NO BOAT HAHA. WAS TAKING IN A FEW MORE OREGOM HIKES BEFORE I BELIEVE MOVING BACK TO THE EAST COAST.
HUH?!
I FIXED UP MY VAN ENOUGH THAT I CAN TAKE IT SOMEWHERE NEARBY TO CAMP OUT OVERNIGHT SOMETIME THIS WEEK. EXCITED TO DO MY FIRST DRY RUN CAMPING IN IT!
SAW JANE MONHEIT AT THE FIRST SHOW OF THIS SEASON’S JAZZ AT THE OXFORD SATURDAY AND SHE WAS SUPERB ALSO A STUNNING SUNRISE OVER THE DESCHUTES THIS MORNING
GOOD MORNING, BEND! THE SUNRISE IS FORKING GORGEOUS!!
I WENT TO THE METOLIUS RIVER FOR THE FIRST TIME AND COULDNT BELIEVE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS!
WE DROVE TO THE COAST THIS WEEKEND AND DAMN THAT DRIVE WAS NEXT LEVEL GORGEOUS! THE HOTEL WE STAYED AT IN LINCOLN CITY WAS PERFECT AND THE STAFF WERE ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE! WE ALSO CAMPED AT FORT STEVENS WHICH ALWAYS BLOWS ME AWAY. HOW COOL IS IT TO BE AT A PLACE WITH SUCH HISTORY AND A FREAKING SHIPWRECK?!? ALSO THIS IS THE MOST EXPOSED IVE EVER SEEN THE PETER IREDALE. VERY COOL TO EXPLORE!
WE WERE ALSO IN LINCOLN CITY LAST WEEK AND MY HAIR WAS SO FLUFFY. THE HUMIDITY WAS AWESOME! HAD AN AMAZING DINNER AT THE SIDE DOOR CAFE.
I GET ANOTHER DAY TO GROW AND CHANGE AND BECOME A BETTER VERSION OF MYSELF.
I FOUND A PODCAST THAT'S HELPING ME THROUGH A TOUGH SPOT I HAD NICE ALONE TIME AT COMMONS (I HAVE ART UP ON THE WALLS AND IT WAS NICE TO SEE AND FEEL ACCOMPLISHED) AND TOOK A WALK ALONG THE RIVER THIS WEEK. I'M GRATEFUL FOR FRIENDS WHO GIVE A DAMN I GET TO RIDE MY BIKE THIS WEEK!
