October 12-13, 2018 Bend, Oregon

75 and sunny today.

We hiked along the Metolius River from bridge 99. The hike started at Bridge 99. The Metolius River starts from this spring, alien springs campground, vine maple in fall colors and some spawning salmon.

 A group shot of Diana, Rob't, John and Sue by the springs.  I told them I wanted an action shot while they were crossing the bridge and this is what I got.  

When these guys were crossing the bridge I told them I wanted an action shot and this is what I got. Diana, Rob't and John. The Metolius springs from the ground as a this big spring, Alien Springs Campground, vine maple in fall colors and a spawning salmon. 

The Metolius river is filtered through lava on the way here so it is very pure and this beautiful blue. 

John in fall colors. He is saying hurry up and take the picture! Fall colors on a side stream. 

Ripples on the Metolius river. On the way back through Sisters we stopped at the Three Creeks brewery. Diana, Rob't and John with their IPA's. 

Once back in Bend we met Karen and Jeff at the Bridge 99 brewery for a yummy dinner. We hiked bridge 99 first, then went to the Bridge 99 brewery for  dinner. Rob't and Diana's coach parked in their back yard. We have the same cat eyes sunshade in our rigs.  

The masterpiece is very colorful so far. Dyed needles, glass beads and center. The white beads and row above will look much better after the next row goes on.  John and Joyce played at the water park today. I took photos. John surfing, John and Joyce at the top of the water park, an unknown kayaker coming down and Joyce near the hole.  

Joyce and John after their run. Fall colors near The Mill in Bend, Oregon.

More fall colors at the Mill and murals along the river walk.

A VW camper with a wood burning stove in it and a chimney going out the window. Art along the river walk- Otter statue, welded horses. After we went on the walk we went to the beer festival at Pine Top. The inside of the tunnel on the river walk. This fall color is on the Deschutes river in the middle of Bend, Oregon behind the beer festival.

John, Rob't and Diana at the beer fest. Lots of good beers. The winner of the the beer fest will be the beer that the Pine Top will serve as their house beer for the next year.
