Living In Bend

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.
