Madaline's Grill where we had dinner tonight.

June weather is glorious in Redmond, OR.  We arrived the evening of the 21st and parked the TrailBayser at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds RV Park.  We have stayed here before, so we knew to expect a clean park with level concrete pads, with full hook-ups.

On Friday Gary played golf at Juniper Golf Course, which is walking distance from the RV Park.  It was very windy but he enjoyed it anyway.  I stayed at the park with Jazzy and Baby and we had a lovely, quiet day.

Today we drove a half hour to Bend.  Our first goal was the Saturday Market.  After a little struggle with the parking, we walked half of the market and then went to Starbucks for a drink and snack.  After that we saw the other half of the market booths.

Bend has some interesting street art including a long road through modern residences which has lots of roundabouts.  On each one is a statue or a work of art. 

In the old downtown area people were having fun but we saw the most Beer Bikes we had ever seen in one place, at least four, and it was only noon.  The people were having a GREAT time!!

There is a large fire about twenty miles from our campground but we have only seen a little smoky haze from it so far.  Don't worry, we are keeping our eyes and ears open and our phones both receive alarms if danger is near.

The fire didn't stop the hundreds of people having fun on the Deschutes River.  Below is a sculpture made entirely of kayaks at the entrance to the public beach.

There is a statue of an otter in the same park.  People were having fun.
