Family Float on the Deschutes River - Big Eddy Run

On July 14, Steve, Rachel, David, Sandy and Katey all went white water rafting down the Deschutes River - Big Eddy run just southwest of Bend, Oregon.  Luckely it was half off Tuesday, a big savings that all of the rafting companies offer for local river trips.   We were bused from Bend to the put-in, a fifteen minute ride, and floated for around an hour.  Fun was had by all and everyone didn't mind getting wet as it was sunny and in the the 90's. The whole trip only took two hours which everyone agreed was just the right amount of time.  We then lunched along the Deschutes River at Farewell Bend Park in Bend before going antique shopping in Redmond.
