Bend, Oregon

One of you guys just head out China hat?? Was a bad ass build. Almost looked like pdxtacoma

 

Well, I'm an Oregonian now too! Staying with some family in Redmond while we look for a house. if you see my 1st gen around, wave at me!

Probably won't do much with it until we get a house and have access to my tools and a workspace again, but we'll definitely be watching the Groudhog crawl in June

 

Welcome to Central Oregon!

 

thanks!

I've hunting CL pretty hard for rentals, as I don't want to burden my wife's relatives for too long while we sell our house in MT and buy another here. Everything I've found is a 1 yr lease, does anyone have a lead on a Month to month rental, probably only for June and July?

 

If any of you guys are looking for a bike rack let me know and I will make ya a good deal

 

Saw you heading south on the parkway yesterday. Welcome!

I was in my big boy truck so I didn’t see the point in waving lol

 

I haven’t lived over there for many years now. But I’m gonna guess you need to go to LaPine or Prineville for that. But both are better in my opinion because I despise people. And would rather live 100 miles from my nearest neighbors.

 

Just live in redmond best of both worlds if you ask me

 

Just saw you today in redmond also

 

With the wife working and me being the stay home parent for now, I just load the kids up every morning and go explore the area. Did some fishing at Pine Nursery Park and Reynolds Pond. Got my ATV permit in the mail today too. Very excited to live here!

 

Keep that going for as long as you can! And good luck on the house search. If I had a lead I'd throw it at you but as I'm sure you're finding out, places to live aren't the easiest thing to come by here.

 

Hello all, this being my first post here on the forum, and must say that accidentally we know an older cpl (older then us, and we're in our 40's) that are selling there home in Redmond. Also accidentally we will be in Redmond on 11-12th of May to help them with garage sale, so if any of you are interested to talk about mountain flowers, solitude or cuts of meets, please do let us know, we would like to meet up with any of you.

Thank you!

 

Started a separate thread for this, but thinking I’ll delete that and leave my question here

Wife and I will be heading up HW97 (from California to Goldendale Washington) to visit family in July. We’re planning on spending a night in Bend.

Any recommendations for a route that gets us off the highway for all or a portion of the drive from Bend to Biggs Junction (or somewhere relatively close to Biggs)? Not looking for anything technical - just want to get off the highway and get a little dusty for a while.

Thanks!

 

Plenty of places around bend to get dusty, I’m not super familiar with spots out along that stretch of road to Biggs though.

 

@Skeletoy was that you I passed on 97 heading north?

 

Yep, Nice ride! Finally got a temporary apartment in town. Still waiting on my house in MT to sell. Me and the kiddos been running around getting stuff for their rooms

 

thanks man, you too! Didn't see plates so wasn't too sure but I waved. Congrats on finding a spot

 

I decided to get HAM plates, so I’m still rockin the temp tag till they come in

 

Take Hwy 20 east of bend and take 27 up past Prineville Reservoir, then you could turn left on 26 in Prineville and hit 97 again in Madras.
Or a longer but mo betta way would be to take a right and head out to fossil, stop at painted hills and take that 19 north.
Could stop at the fossil beds.
I don't this ive ever been on 19 north of Fossil but I think its just an old paved 2 lane.
Id prob add an extra half a day for this route.

 

Great, thanks for the recommendation! I’ll definitely check this out!
