Oct. 18 – Mirror Mud Flats
Mirror Pond is draining! The hundred year old hydro dam that holds back the Deschutes River to create Mirror Pond in downtown Bend has sprung a leak! The city is abuzz with alternative solutions, rebuild the dam or take it out to let the river flow free once more. Regardless, Mirror Pond was silting in and needs some kind of action, dredging or draining.
