Drake Park Bends favorite gathering place

Another place one should visit when in Bend is Drake Park Mirror Pond it is a beautiful park with lots of activities in the summer time, along with some great wildlife. Many ducks to watch. Lots of entertainment throughout the summer. Beautiful view of the mountains on a clear day.

This is my grandson Cody who spent some time with us for about 2 weeks this winter, here he is standing on the stage of what they use in the summertime for Munch N Music
Great entertainment on Thursday nights be sure and check this site out

Pilot Butte

Pilot Butte Click here for information
When in Bend and you like to hike, a hike up Pilot Butte is a must. Once you get to the top the view is spectacular. You can see all over Bend on a clear day. In the summer time you can drive or walk up the hill. But the hike is worth it if you can do it. I just take lots of rest stops.

Again another day in Central Oregon till next time.

Around Town of Bend

A waterfall without the water , I took this photo this winter so I think they had the water turned off.

A water tower right in town isn't it pretty?

This is a statue in Downtown Bend.When you first see the statue from a distant it really looks like someone is sitting there. I am never fond of going downtown but a lot of people seem to like it, as they are always asking were downtown is. It is the gateway to many activities that people like to go too. They have all sorts of different shops down there. I guess my question is? Don't you have a town with shops? Ok I said I wasn't a shopper. It is also how you get to Drake Park which is a beautiful Park. A must see when you come to Bend.
Photos of Drake Park later on.

Here is one of the churches. One day I need to look to see when it was built and maybe get some inside photos.

This is one of the underpasses looks pretty old huh?

This is the road we take to turn into Walmarts. You can see the mountains in the distance, one thing I have found is that the mountains here are beautiful no matter what time of the yr. as long as it is a clear day you can see them all.
