We headed up the scenic route to Crater Lake, on our way up to Bend, OR. Although it was much colder than we were expecting, it was absolutely worth it.
We then made our way to Bend, which yielded some awesome trails, some awesome beer and some awesome food. Not to mention, we found our favorite campsite so far: Tumalo State Park, just 15 minutes outside of downtown Bend.

The Project Board at Crux. There were Bacon Wrapped Figs. Yea. You read that right. Bacon Wrapped Figs. HOLY COW!
That right there is a grilled cheese. It is an asiago crusted panini with goat cheese, swiss and havarti with the most amazing pickles and bacon. It was to die for!
Our campground in Bend was at Tumalo State Park, just 15 minutes from downtown Bend. It had the nicest showers and bathrooms up to that point. Our favorite campground so far.

Our last morning in Bend, we revised some trails and parked in the trail system a ways.
And then we topped off a fun ride with trail side breakfast burritos.
