Halloween
Our annual Halloween Bonfire and potluck spread was lots of fun! The weather cooperated and the food and drink were fabulous!

We took some friends on a tour of the area they haven’t explored yet. The Metolious River outside of Sisters, Oregon is unusual in that it’s headwaters emerge full blown, at a rate of about 50,000 gallons per minute, from a spring at the base of Black Butte.
We continued on to Three Creeks Lake, the other direction from Sisters.
We took the back way home, dirt roads!
Several friends from the neighborhood hiked down to the Deschutes River on a beautiful fall day.
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.
We celebrated several birthdays in October in true Bend fashion; with BEER!
