Some Pics From Bend

There's plenty of hotels in the Bend area, but our meeting was actually in Sunriver, which is some sort of master planned community in the middle of the woods about 20 minutes south of Bend. Almost all of the homes and condos in Sunriver are either second homes or vacation rentals or both. We had a few cancellations from some people who got sick so there ended up being 3 of us in this house. Not bad, though if I had known ahead of time I might have tried to sublet a couple rooms for the weekend. I wonder how much someone would pay to rent a hot tub?


The place had a huge upper deck...


And an even bigger lower deck.

With hot tub.


But most of the time we were in meetings. One of the members of our team actually lives in Bend, and she hosted a dinner at her house before we left. Here's a picture of her view from the back yard and me on her friend's all terrain segway.


And here is some sort of tree replicator...


And a car with no door we saw on the way to the airport. It really has no relevance to the rest of this post, but I thought it was funny.
