  • LFTR 111 - Go to Bend!

    LFTR 111 - Go to Bend!
    Aug 31 2025

    If you love beer, bands and big skies, you’d love Bend, Oregon. We spent a week there and in nearby Sisters doing some good old fashioned eating, drinking and shopping. Oh and we also saw two great concerts, played in the Deschutes River and enjoyed a great state park where littlest once again made a friend.
