Saw a blonde dude at beach yesterday wearing a green and gold Oregon visor. He had two little blonde kids with him. I'll feel really bad if that was you because I didn't say 'hi' or anything.
Lotta blond Oregon fans with kids...pretty sure this is the Iceland of the USA.
Good point.What do you know about Sun River?
I know a thing or two about Sun River. It's about 15 miles south of Bend, which is home to Deschutes Brewery and plenty of other cool places. Sun River is an emormous resort community in the central part of the state and offers all kinds of outdoor activity....hiking, rafting, skiiing, horseback riding, golf...that's just to name a few. The resort is the 'crown jewel' of Sun River and has many large swimming pools to splash around in (I think they have a giant wave rider pool that is totally kick butt). Plus, there are bike trails ALL OVER, so if you like riding your bike, this place is ideal (and safe!). The way to go is to rent a house. There is no shortage of houses for rent in Sun River and you can get anything from an older house for $150 a night to a pimped out crib with an arcade and a bidet for quite a bit more. Google Sun River Properties or Village Properties or VRBO. If you have more than one family to vacation with, this is absolutely a no brainer. My co-worker just got back and spent $225 per night on a 4BR house with a hot tub, bikes in the garage and club memberships to both Sun River and Mavericks (which allows you to use their pools, gyms and spas). Mavericks is where the wave rider pool is, so when looking for a rental, make sure the owner offers access here.
And Sun River is a great place to base if you want to explore the region. There is just no shortage of options, from roaring rapids to Lava Cave State Park. Mt. Bachelor is close and you can ski, hike, explore one of the best slopes in Oregon. Or you can just drink a lot of beer and enjoy looking at tall trees and birds.
