Looking around Bend

A glorious morning
Relaxed with coffee and light breakfast.
Drove into Bend and found my Second Cousin Mary at work.
Had a short chat and decided to go out to eat tomorrow night.
Had a good time looking around their store and seeing all the neat fireplaces.
After we found McMenamins here in Bend and enjoyed Fish n Chips and a great clam chowder.


After we did some shopping at a converted lumber mill. 
Was hard to know it was ever an industrial site.
Developer did a great job updating and adding new.
Going to eat there tomorrow night.
Then Millie decided to take a nap as her birthday present, or she was tired!
I drove out to Paulina Lakes and up Paulina peak.
Did not get all the way to the top as at about 7000 feet the clouds had moved in and couldn't see.
Turned around and headed home.



On the way back down found the "Big Obsidian Flow" 
Yes that is what it is called.
This piece was about the size of two concrete block and probably weight over 100 lbs.
Besides being against the law and over 6000 feet of elevation, I had to get me back to the truck without the sample.
OK at those elevations if doing little manual labor.
Many of you know about "Flat lander syndrome".

That's about it for Friday.
More tomorrow.
Hugs
Tom & Millie
