Obligatory blog post
OK, well, since Andy has his workbench (hey, I helped out there too!) and FIOS posts, I suppose I should put something up.
So... most bloggable thing we've done recently was go to Bend, OR this past weekend. It was sort of for my birthday the week before (we had a wedding to attend here in town that day, so couldn't get away on the actual date), and sort of "just because" we haven't taken a mini-break in a while.
We stayed at the Lara House B&B right in downtown Bend. It was quite nice to be able to walk to the movies, the art galleries (well, only 1 or 2 since Andy is not the biggest fan!), dining, and the river park.
Hmm, before this turns into the most boring blog post ever, let me present some pictures from the great high desert Badlands geocache that we did: Bushmaster
Volcanoes (and spots on the lens) seen from the high desert
(Mt Bachelor, Broken-Top and the Three Sisters)

Anyone want to guess what the black shiny stuff is? Kind of ew, but pretty interesting. Of course, we had no idea when when we posed the "Evil Duck" travel bug on it at the final cache location:
This was a great cache, and we look forward to returning to the area. Upcoming post: our caching attempt in the practically opposite ecosystem - old growth forest!
