I guess there will be other stuff to do in Bend in Mid August as there could be no fishing when the FFF Faire takes place by the looks of things. Our plan is to drive out the shortest route and then take 2 weeks getting home via the Bad Land, Winnebago plant, and some friends visiting. I have the National Park Passport and collect the stamps so the return trip will take in some parks.
Anyone else going to Bend? Peggy B On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 9:41 PM, Wes Wada <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Neville, > > Feeling for your and your fisheries.
