Pics from my vacation in Bend, Oregon

I had 3 weeks off between jobs, so Lola and I took a little road trip up to Bend, Oregon to hang out with my aunt Liz and uncle Tom. Bend is situated smack in the middle of Oregon, in the high desert just east of the Cascade mountain range. That means that it's hot and dry in the summer, and snowy in the winter. Fleas can't survive there because it's too dry, so it's a great place if you have pets. Also, it's a great place if you're into outdoor activities, because Bend is surrounded by mountains, rocks, and other outdoor goodness. On my trip, Liz took me climbing and hiking, and I did a scenic bike tour too.
