Dive into the River: A Bend Adventure Story

Hey, fellow river rats!

Guess who's back with another wild tale from Bend, Oregon? That's right – it's the Kromm Team, gearing up for an epic river romp down the Deschutes. So grab your snorkels and inflatable unicorns, because things are about to get wet and wild!

The Prelude: Solo Floats and Regrets

So, remember that time John casually mentioned floating the river in one of our YouTube vids? Well, guess who's living up to their word – this guy! Shannon opted out (can't blame her), leaving me to brave the river solo, shirtless and slightly questioning my life choices. Ah, the things we do for the 'Tube!

Introducing the Deschutes Delight

Let's talk about the real MVP of Bend – the Deschutes River. It's not just a river; it's a way of life around here. From its winding canals to its bustling parks, this river is the heart and soul of our beloved city. And guess what? Floating down it is like hitting the jackpot of summer fun!

Plotting our Course: Where the Magic Happens

Now, before you go all Huck Finn and jump in anywhere, listen up. Starting from Farewell Bend Park or the Bend Parks and Recreation HQ parking lot is the smart move. Trust me, you don't want to end up in the wrong end of the river – unless you're into extreme whitewater yoga, that is.

White Water Wackiness: Riding the Rapids

Time to tackle the pièce de résistance: the White Water Park. Buckle up (or maybe just hold onto your floaties) and head for the left channel. Avoid the center lane – unless you're training for the River Olympics – and definitely steer clear of the right lane unless you're auditioning for a nature documentary.

Tips, Tricks, and Tall Tales: Surviving the Splashdown

As you navigate the rapids, remember our golden rule: flip flops are your new besties. Trust me, they're not just for fashion – they're your secret weapon against river chaos. Oh, and leave your valuables at home unless you want them to join the river treasure trove!

The Grand Finale: Reflections and Revelations

As your river adventure winds down, take a moment to soak in the sights and sounds of Bend. From historic homes to modern marvels, the Deschutes River has a story to tell – and you're living it!

So, fellow adventurers, when the river calls your name, don't hesitate to answer. And remember, life's a river – so grab your floaties and enjoy the ride!
