Well, it finally happened. The mercury settled just below 100 degrees today and the heat wave seems to be broken for a bit. The animals came out to celebrate a change in temperature also. Part of the beauty of Southern Oregon Summers is the heat that we have along the Rogue River. The nights cool off so wonderfully, too.
Families from the Eastern Shoreline visited us on the Rogue: a new graduate from MIT, students of biology and engineering from Connecticut, Environmental Consultants from our nation's capital, who were all joined by Wendy and Juliana of Mill Valley, and Nicole and Brian and the gang from San Diego, California, along with Sarah and Megan from the Pacific Northwest. The combination of strangers from coast to coast, and fans of rafting blended perfectly. Everyone shared inflatable kayaks, the kids rode the bull through some great rapids, water guns were used in good humor, and laughter filled the air.
The Rogue River is the best way to spend time with family!
