We took a nice hike the last day of the trip. All of us were Pretty hung over and none of us got to shower with a five hour drive the day before.
We were all happy that we didn't skip it.

Sleeping, night 3
Neil to Derrick: you got a kick in your future. What Derrick hears "you got a dick in your future".
Very Blue Lake
We stopped at Crater Lake on the way to Bend. I took way too many crappy phone pics. Here is one.
Derrick added more camera phone pics! Goodjob derrick!
Ignore the grammar
Stop dozen - silver moon
Derrick like mango and Porter. Brad like pilsner and Ryan is beating him down to live mango. Ryan love mango. Neil live lamp.
Stop 11 - Crux
Oh my fucking god, the beers!!
If I had to choose two if say the peated scotch and the Porter. Neil like all but choose light skinned the most this time. Ryan is being difficult and days none of them hit him but he liked the "smell". He's a dick. Brad liked the double cross and lager which upsets Derrick for dinner reason.
Derrick: Brad can't eat a damn sandwich.
Stop 10 - good life
It's OK. I think our favorite beers were guest taps. Anderson valley pumpkin beer. Ryan was cool with the house IPA cause it's less ipa-ee.
Bendy bend
A stop along the way
Taking 66 back to Medford we stretched our legs at a view point just outside of Ashland.k
Derrick: crazy cyclists flying down this crazy road.
Yreka! Now away from Yreka
Next steps
We'll soon be "bugging" out of Klamath Falls on our way to Bend via a short stop in Medford to pick up a lost phone. That'll make for a fair bit of driving but we're prepared; this is what we've been training for!
Stop #9 - Klamath Basin Brewing and The Creamery
Now what?
Stop 9 - creamery Klamath falls
Good bar , big tasters and right next to the maverick hotel so win!
Derrick liked vanilla Peter and IPA. Neil of course like brown and brad and rush liked it when I put jalapeños in the blonde.
Lucky Neil
Decided to make things special for Neil since we're sharing a room tonight.
Rose petals and lovely note.

Stop #8 brick town
Sooooo many IPA. Very good. Neil likes brown. Derrick likes them bitter and sour. Brad likes the gingers. Ryan has a tongue for the ipa .
Stop #7 - Walkabout Brewing Co.
Yum. And a tour! The group favorite is the Jabberwocky Strong.
Derrick says: Ryan told the bar tender that his "partner" was glutton intolerant and that they were always looking for good option. Totally sounded gay.
Stop #6 - Rehydration
No hiking for you
Traveling south to Medford we stopped off at a couple spots where we thought there might be hiking... None of that to be had but we were able to stretch our legs and work on our sunburns at the Valley of the Rouge State Park.
Dear deer
Regret...with a smack of ham
We will be setting out soon, with possible intention of finding a hiking trail or two on the way to southern oregon. Nothing picked out yet, but you will be the fifth to know. Our fourth if I'm napping again.
Our hotel and much of Eugene is filled with yellow and orange clad people. Will be happy to leave them all behind. It is kind of cool to be around large swaths of people so excited about a game. But really? College football? What about the curling championships? Now that would be cool.
Pun is done, and the daily quota is complete.

Sleeping together - bro style
So, we get to share beds the first night.
Derrick to Brad "what does my breath small like?"
Brad to Derrick "cotton candy and poo".
Stop Johnny 5 - Brewpub interlude
Number 4 - First National Taphouse
Next few planned stops in Eugene were skipped due to hordes of hungry/thirsty football fans in town for a game tomorrow. Ended up at the First National Taphouse for food and drinks.
