Day 8. Sisters to Sunriver. 51 miles, 2606' climbing

We took our time riding today.  Slower and two long stops -- one in Bend for lunch and a second stop at the High Desert Museum south of Bend.  As a result we exposed ourselves to two rain showers.  Well, one was a thunderstorm.


Lunch at McMenamin's with our friends Larry and Roz Gibel from Albuquerque.  We rode with them a couple of years ago in Scotland and then met up with them again in Fredericksburg, TX last year.


Kris's cappuccino.


Kris had the best Huevos Rancheros she's had in a long time and regrets not taking a photo of it before making it disappear.


1935 Forest Service fire truck at High Desert Museum.  We are so glad we read The Big Burn by Timothy Egan before coming on this trip.  It explains why the Forest Service exists and why the great forests of the west are still here.
