Spent a couple days in Bend with a high school classmate of Rick. They showed us some great scenery. Here is Mt Bachelor as seen from the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Note the lava fields in the foreground. 
The next day we visited Smith Rock state park that was teeming with rock climbers
After our exertions, we refreshed at one of the many craft breweries in town. Bend has the highest number of breweries per capital of any place in America. A tasting flight was a necessity.
On our way back to Portland to begin our cruise, we stopped at the Evergreen Air and Space Museum to see Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose. It only flew once in 1948 and then was in storage for 33 years. It’s quite a story on how it got from California to Oregon. The plane is so huge that you can’t get it all in one photo. Men can actually stand upright inside the wings!!
