We arrived at River Rim RV Park at about noon. We stayed here a few years ago. The owners of the park, David and Renee are wonderful people. Our site had a great view of the golf course and a large yard area. After getting set up  we sat out and enjoyed the day. The weather was nice and is supposed to be for our three days in the park.

After breakfast we went for a drive to the Sisters area to do some exploring. We walked around Sisters for a bit then went to the top of MacKenzie Pass to the Dee Wright Observatory. This place is amazing. The altitude is 5325 ft and it was extremely windy, I mean 60-70 MPH. The area is about 50 square miles of lava fields. There is a 1/2 mile path you can walk but it was way too windy.  The observatory was built completely of lava and has holes in it that view the various mountains and craters in the area.

Then we went to Camp Sherman for lunch at the store. We each had a great deli sandwich. Then we went to the Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery which was started in 1947. The Metolius River runs through the park like stetting of the hatchery.

We saw brook trout that were 14-16 inches long and an Atlantic Salmon that was over 20 pounds in one of the ponds. Then back to the park for the evening.

After breakfast we went into Bend for lunch and walk around town. Bend is a fun town with a lot to see and do. We gassed up the truck and headed back to the park. Tomorrow we drive just over 200 miles to Pendleton, OR
