Destination:
Mt. Bachelor
Overnight Parking – You can park in the Walmart parking lot in Bend I’m sure.
Bathing – There is a Planet Fitness that will be cheap and you can also get a workout in. I don’t know if they have hot tubs or any of that shit.
Happy Hours – There was this place called “Laughing Planet” with some good deals on drafts and some cheap (and good) tacos. It may be different now but it was a decent place.
Coffee – No idea, take your pick!
Miscellaneous – We didn’t actually ski Bachelor, we just went there to see a band at the Midtown Ballroom/Domino Room. You can check out some live bands there which is cool. Bend is a pretty cool big town with Deschutes Brewing and some good restaurants (we had Indian). It’s a good place to stay because Bachelor really isn’t all that far away.
