Rogue River Thanksgiving

Life on the Rogue is a special way to live. We are very thankful that we get to live in God's country along the banks of the Rogue River, nestled in the rich fertile valley of the Siskiyou-Klamath Mountain Range.


Our Thanksgiving was cooked cast iron style over a campfire at one of our favorite campsites. We forgot about the removal of the tables by the parks department during the winter time, but Tim improvised and built a table out of firewood! We cooked fog bank mashed potatoes, s'more sweet potatoes, gravel bar peas and onions, and fire roasted herbed turkey complete with corn bread stuffing. We thought the names would entice you to try a cook out of your own or better yet, with us! The camp coffee kept us warm as we topped off dinner with pumpkin pie.

We enjoyed the chatter of the belted king fisher, the warmth of the fire, the freedom to enjoy the great outdoors and the company of one another. Here's to living the good life one day at a time and to sharing the gratitude of another beautiful season on the Rogue River.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Rainshowers and Starshowers

November in the Rogue Valley can be a time of volatile weather patterns. We have had a very mild fall with warm days and cool nights that led into a surprise cloaking of heavy fog. The fog lasted for 5 days,and temperatures remained steady between 41 and 45 degrees day and night. Then it rained. As the warmer weather moved into the valley, the fog lifted and the cloaking fog lifted to reveal the surrounding mountains. As the evergreen peaks were revealed, the sun peaked through, pale blue sky appeared and the views became spectacular.

Between rainshowers at night, the clouds parted and the brilliant autumn stars danced vividly in the night sky. The Milky Way offered an extra background brilliance as the starshowers fell in front. Autumn evenings of stargazing and puffy, cloudy days make another great season in the Rogue River Valley.
