Redmond & Bend, OR

October 17, 2022 / / 0 Comments

On Sunday, we drove 130 miles to the Expo Center RV Park in Redmond, Oregon. Nice concrete level sites with great amenities. The location is good for seeing Bend and Redmond.

On Monday, we went to the High Desert Museum and took a guided nature walk with the group. We learned about the high desert and how it differs from traditional deserts.

For dinner, Pam and I went to the Wild Rose Northern Thai Restaurant. The food was good, but no Singha beer! Afterwards, we had a nice walk in Farwell Bend Park. Nice walk around the river an a paved path and a couple of walking bridges over the river. Bend’s Riverwalk.

Tuesday, we went to Wild Ride Brewery for local beer and lunch. They have multiple food trucks serving a variety of food. We had a 12″ pizza that was very good and tried the gourmet corndog. On Tuesdays, they will fill any growler for $9 so we filled our 64oz monster.

On Thursday, we drove 71 miles to the Armitage Park Campground in Eugene, Oregon. This is a very nice county park. Huge sites with lots of separation.

Friday, we started our day at the Camas County Mill and Bakery. A family owned and run farm and grain mill where they produce whole grain flower the old fashion way. We had coffee and baked goods in the old schoolhouse. Sue Hunton explained the history of the farm and how they grow food. Click here to go to their online store.

Next, we stopped by the Cascades Raptor Center. A very nice non-profit organization that rehabilitates and saves birds of prey. We had a very informative presentation with 3 birds before roaming the center’s grounds.

We then went to the Ninkasi Brewery for a tour and lunch. Both were very nice. Pam and I each had a flight of 5 beers. Kelly had the Brussel spouts for lunch – Outstanding!!

Before leaving Astoria, Pam and I drove to Long Beach back in Washington. We hiked the beach and had lunch. The next day, the group toured the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center and we hiked to the North Head Lighthouse which is still active today.

On Wednesday, we drove 157 miles to the Evergreen Aviation Museum where we stayed 1 night in the Harvest Host location. On the way, we stopped in Tillamook to tour the Tillamook Creamery.

The next day, we moved to Olde Stone Village RV Park; all in McMinnville, Oregon. The RV Park was very, very nice. Level concrete pads for the trailer and truck with nice grass. The clubhouse and facilities were outstanding.

On Thursday, we spend that day at the Museum, toured the Spruce Goose (separate post) and watched the new Top Gun movie in their IMax Theater.

On Friday, we went to Durant Winery, where we toured their Olive Oil Mill and had a wine tasting. We never did an olive oil tasting (with bread) before. It was fun.

Saturday was a lazy day to catch up on tasks and relax.

On Saturday, we drove 78 miles to Fort Stevens State Park in Hammond, OR (next to Astoria, OR). Another huge state park with full hookups.

We were able to have our first “Real” Campfire in many weeks. There is a burning ban on in most places. We have been limited to gas fires.

Packer’s Game & PBR

Sunday morning, we went to the Columbia River Maritime Museum. Well done museum with a 3D movie and the Light Ship Columbia docked in the harbor.

In the afternoon, we went to a sports bar: “End of the Trail Public House“. They had all the games on multiple TV’s, and the Packers found a way to win in overtime.

Sorry, not many pictures again.
