It's Only A 11 Hour Drive
We had a potential renter call the office here in Sunriver, asking about our vacation homes. After one of our reservations folks had been talking to her for about 10 minutes or so, the conversation went a bit ... uh ... south. I'm paraphrasing, but I guess it went something like this... Lady: Now I'm looking to take my dog on walks, is there places to do that?
Reservations: Oh yes, we have 30+ miles of paved bike paths here.
L: What if I want to take my dog through the sequoias?
R: The what?
L: Sequoia National Park is close by, right?
R: You realize Sunriver is in Central Oregon, right?
L: Yes.
R: [dumbfounded]
L: I mean, if it's a short drive, that's no problem.
R: Ma'am, the nearest National Park is Crater Lake. Sequoia National Park is in California.
L: Oh no, it's up by Sunriver, I'm reading it right here on Google. Let me go talk to my husband, and we'll call you back. Sure lady, it's a short drive -- if you don't mind sitting on your butt for 11 hours. Needless to say, I couldn't find anything for Sequoia and/or Sunriver on Google, so I don't know what the lady was reading.
She never called back.

Meridee said on 11/17/04 @ 05:19 AM: That's pretty close to Magic Mountain in Bend isn't it?
Jake said on 11/17/04 @ 08:37 AM: Yup. Just down the street from Six Flags Redmond.
