It was most interesting on downhills, because you can really feel it working to keep you upright. <strong>@cpa3485:</strong> Stacey says you're very kind! She's actually 30 now. :) <strong>@Carlos:</strong> You should come out here for a visit and have some! <strong>@RichardM:</strong> You too! The Segway ride is a perk that our gracious hosts were only happy to provide. <strong>@Allaina:</strong> You three! Heck, all of you should just come right out for a visit. <strong>@irondad:</strong> We heard about the Cowboy Dinner Tree too! It's still open and we did see signs for it along the way. But no one told us any details. We'll have to check it out the next time we're out thataways. And I'll definitely bring a rod the next time I go too. Now... to find one that'll fit on the bike! @Ken: The Segway was a hoot. It was most interesting on downhills, because you can really feel it working to keep you upright.

It will be a new adventure on a different bike. I love taking Century Drive out of Bend and doing that high lake ride. Next time, if you care to, take a small fly rod to East Lake. It's so deep and cold that the big German Brown trout thrive. I don't know if it's still going, but there was an interesting restaurant I discovered on a bike trip around Silver Lake. It's up in the hills. They have no electricity. The places uses solar panels and batteries. I believe it's called the Cowboy Dinner Tree. The menu each night predetermined. The night we went it was steak. We drank pink lemonade from mason jars. They brought us a whole tin of homemade biscuits. The steaks were huge. And the price was reasonable. Not as neat as the Segway, still quite eclectic! That reminds me that there are a lot of roads I need to get the FJR on. It will be a new adventure on a different bike.

Now I know, but there is enough years on me that I am not sure I care to celebrate it that much anymore. Looks like a great time was had by all. Twenty years cannot be all that bad.
