The best of Bend: blockbuster, pub cycle, Mt. Bachlor and boondocking!

Описание: Vlog 6
Location: Bend, Oregon

Follow us along as we continue along on our 3 week trip. This vlog sees us spending time in one of our favorite places to visit, #Bend, #Oregon in the great #PNW. We meet back up with some friends for #dispersedcamping in the #deschutes #forest.

Bend is well known for their craft beer. They have 30 breweries within the city! We made it our mission to try and enjoy as many as possible! We enjoyed some time walking around and taking a #pubcycle, which got highly competitive amongst our group. We were able to explore good life brewing, bend brewing company, mcmenamins, silver moon brewing, crux fermentation project, and avid cider,. One place that we were super excited to explore was McMenamins! Our friends had told us about the company and we love what they do! It's a whole experience in and of itself. They have properties throughout the PNW and offer a passport for purchase. Each location offers stamps for the various bars and hotels within the property; once competed for each property, you can redeem for a prize! And half the fun is looking for the hidden bar or photo hunt clue.

It wasn't all just drinking! We had to work that beer off so we set out to explore #MtBachelor for a nice hike. We had spent the winter up there several times and enjoyed seeing it during the summer. It's a popular place for mountain biking as well. And another can't miss spot for a bit of nostalgia, the last #blockbuster! It's definitely an experience and it's always fun to make it a blockbuster night.

We had so much fun that we ended up staying longer than planned before our last stop, Boise. We had so much fun in Bend that it took up a whole video itself so we will have one more video to conclude this trip. Stay tuned for the last installment for Boise!

Hi! We're Chris and Tracy. We're from the Los Angeles area. We've been married since 2009! Chris grew up traveling with his family and Tracy caught the travel bug during our honeymoon. And we've been on the go since as much as our jobs allow.

Covid has caused so many problems for so many individuals. We found ourselves in a situation that many others found themselves in.....cancelled plans for international #travel. Working in the healthcare industry, as administrator and practitioner, we found ourselves feeling the extra stress without an escape. Upon the initial opening in California in May, 2020 we decided to make the jump and buy a converted #campervan so we could still travel domestically as a means to escape the stressors of our jobs and covid. It also allowed us the ability to travel with our 3 dogs: Keyna, Maya, and Luna.

Upon seeing our van, we both commented that it was the perfect shade of USC Trojan cardinal. Being lifelong fans of the football team and Tracy being an alumni, we knew we had a perfect play for a Trojan inspired name with our newly purchased 2018 (used) Winnebago Travato. And that's how Helen of Troy(vato) got her name.

We started out with the hopes that we could get away once a month to make our investment worth it. We've been amazed at how much we've used our van!!! Since purchasing our van on 5/28/20, we have gone 25,000 miles and have visited 9 states and 10 #nationalparks. We've been enjoying documenting our trips via Instagram and wanted to go one step further. We love watching #vanlife videos but noticed most were doing it full time. We thought we may have a niche to fill being #parttimevanlifers. And that's where our vision for this #travelvlog channel began.
