Over the Rapids and Through the Chutes

Miranda and Marissa, Ron and Brook came to the Rogue Valley with a little extra history in their back pockets involving none other than Clark Gable! It was fun to share stories and see the family enjoy the paddle raft back on the Rogue River again. Ron was a sure aim with the squirt guns or do we call them super soakers? Whichever the case, they worked well in the hands of Ron!

Lindsay, Joe, Bert and Glenda were an excellent firing squad on the big orange boat (BOB!). The general theory was that Bert's tie dye started it all, but no one can be sure. The only certainty is that is was HOT, the water refreshing, and everybody enjoyed themselves.

Amy and Scott joined in the gathering from Rogue Forest Bed and Breakfast on a wonderful anniversary celebration. Both Amy and Scott mastered the paddling of the inflatable kayaks and traveled downstream. There was an abundance of wildlife throughout the day including two river otter sightings, beaver, osprey, turtles, deer, and a rare golden eagle enjoying an afternoon fish snack.

Thank you to one and all for a day that was simply enchanting.
