I can't say enough good things about the people of the La Pine Chamber. I arrived in La Pine as a part of the Cycle Oregon ride to the Frontier Heritage Park. We had been riding and camping in rain for the past three nights and it was coming down hard as I finished my ride. I needed to find a ride to the Best Western a good mile and a half away for my 50 lb gear bag and bike. I asked a local how I might get there and the kind woman I spoke to, Teri, happened to be with the chamber. I asked if there was an Uber driver and she said, just one and told me his name and gave me his phone number. When she saw the wait was long, she told me she would take me herself. She put my huge duffle in her backseat and allowed me to put my bicycle in her trunk and gave me some rope to tie it down. We had a great conversation on the way to the BW and she told me if I needed a ride back in the morning, to call her. I offered her $20 to go to the chamber for her generous and kind efforts, but she adamantly refused, saying it wouldn't be right for her to take it. My impressions of La Pine will forever be elevated by the helpfulness of Teri at the Chamber. A fellow rider had a similar interaction with the President of the Chamber. Nicest people you could hope to meet. A real community of people helping others and rolling out the welcome mat in a big way. read more
