Just imagine being on this high plateau, grasses as far as you can see, and in the distance, the snow covered peaks of the Cascades.

I will never tire of this and continue to say – WOW, WOW, and more WOW – we are so blessed!

We stopped in Bend, Oregon to get new tires for the Tracker – it was time!  And then headed to La Pine State Campground for the night.   Another beautiful state campground and since it is the off season, we are getting full hookups for $12.00 – Nice!  We may stay here for a few more nights, depending on the weather, and do some sightseeing.  Stay tuned.
