Moderators dtel Posted February 17, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 17, 2016 I don't want to drive hours to civilization; but, don't want to be in the middle of the chaos anymore. I think your going to love it, probably extend your life getting out of the middle of chaos. It may take a little adjusting but this kind of change is usually good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 So you're saying it ain't Los Angeles North? Back in my Coast Guard days, i got transferred to the little town of Grand Haven, Michigan. I ended up loving it there; but, it was culture shock. I remember wandering around when i first moved there and asking "where's downtown?" I was told told "you are downtown." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 "Downtown" Bend is definitely bigger than "Downtown" Grand Haven, and no, it ain't LA North....which is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 as I just confirmed that they have a Del Taco there. God have mercy on yer heathen soul! Any town in Texas with a population of more than 2 has a REAL Mexican or TexMex restaurant. Dave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fast food tacos go, Del Taco are my favorite. They're a quick cheap alternative to the real thing, not a substitute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Looking up Bend Or, it kind of looks cold and wet ? I've not been there a lot, but it's on the East side of the Cascades and believe it can get very cold in the winter, why skiing is supposed to be so good on Bachelor Butte, as well as hot in the summer. http://www.skimountaineer.com/CascadeSki/CascadeSki.php?name=ThreeSisters The Eastern slopes of Western mountains are usually in a rain shadow, making them rather dry. I dunno how that works out for Bend, but think the Eastern Oregon desert butts up against it. Beautiful country, highly varied scenery.
