Geo 365: March 24, Day 83: Deschutes Meander

A meander in the Deschutes River, near "The Big Tree" in La Pine State Park (which I wrote up here). We had been expecting to stay in La Pine, but the lodging options there were more limited than I'd recalled, and a hotel that was reasonably priced didn't have room for us, so we drove up to Bend. This was a very worthwhile stop on the way. While we basically thought the geologizing was over for the day, there were still a couple of surprises in store for us...
