Naomi and John rode the Deschutes River today from Sunriver to Inn of 7th Mountain and back (~18-21 miles). The trail access from Benham Falls had been previously closed from Sunday 7/6 to early Tuesday AM 7/8 when we did this ride. It had been closed because a local Bend Emergency Room doctor was reported missing on Monday. We found flowers left where he disappeared . . . such a loss. Many locals grieving . . . 
"The search is over... The body of a missing 58-year-old Bend emergency room doctor was found in about ten feet of water around 7 o'clock Monday night. It was more than a mile downstream from Benham Falls. Lynn McDonald's bicycle was found Sunday near that area. Officials are not speculating as to how or why McDonald entered the water, but the investigation continues. McDonald had been employed as an ER doctor at St Charles-Bend for the last 27-years." Married with two 16 year old kids.
