Shooting right into the sun!
Bend, Oregon
June 30, 2021
Based on my 24 hours here, I have the following non-scientific observations about if you live here.
You are white
You are young.
Your BMI us under 10
You drive an SUV or a truck. Minis and Tesla’s are allowed but only as a second car. If you are truly hip, you never remove your rooftop carrier. Same goes for rooftop tent.
You wear a ball cap
You don’t mind getting dusty
You are affluent
You do at least four of five of these activities - skiing, paddle boarding, mountain biking, hiking, camping - at a level many would consider extreme.
You don’t wear anything giving away if or where you went to college
Your three favorite colors are pine green , sky blue and snow whit.
You pray every hour there won’t be a forest fire close by.
You have heard there is civilization outside of Bend but you pay no attention to it.
