Paddlers Extraordinaire

Three generations paddled the Rogue Whitewater today: six in the paddle raft and one great adventurer in the inflatable kayak. Ryan took on the rapids, whitewater, and friendly water fights like a seasoned pro. When the thrill of the rapids ended, the water fights began.

Taylor and Grandpa Dale took front row seats and were well reinforced by Jordan, Grandma Sharon, Leanne, and Nicole. The Blue Rocket boat nearly took flight in Dunn Riffle and Rooster Tail! All the power of super paddlers had the boat really moving.

There was a friendly competition of rock skipping at lunch along the river bank and plenty of wildlife in the 90 degree heat. The crew beat the heat with a leisurely drift in their life jackets through the lower canyon. It was a terrific day to be on the water!
