On Feb. 26 we arrived in Bend after a loooooong 2 day drive from Borrego Springs, CA. We will embark on the second part of our winter journey soon, without the appendage trailer behind us. We are dropping off the trailer with the Jeepster so we can more efficiently travel to the east to visit friends and relatives. Meanwhile we are experiencing just a tiny bit of winter here!

An overnight snowfall of only an inch or two dusted the camper.

Mirror Pond in downtown Bend was very picturesque.

Some friends met up with us out in the desert and we all went into town, Borrego Springs, to experience the nightlife ‘uptown’. We went to the old Hoberg Resort , now The Palms Hotel, for cocktails and had a grand time! They have a cute little gallery off the lobby and I experimented with my camera.

The same with the flash.

The blue color really pops with the flash!
