Rogue River raft trip July 27

 This was the first time this Floridian couple had been on a rafting trip. They are exploring Oregon and decided to spend the morning with Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips.

There are a few spring Chinook spawned out salmon that are starting to die and float along the river.  Above is a turkey vulture having a tasty meal.

Rogue River bear damage

A group that rented a raft from Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips camped at Gleason.  They saw a bear and strapped up their cooler.  It worked to no avail.

Rogue River Rafting July 24

This crew came from the DC/Maryland area. They are taking a ten day vacation and included Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips in their plans. The journey started in Washington. They stopped in Gold Beach, Oregon and took the jet boat trips up the lower portion of the Wild and Scenic Rogue River. Then they rafted!!

This is a blurry shot and probably so were the people who left these sandals in our boats.  A group of sixty folks rented a bus from Ashland and rented our rafts to float from Hog Creek to Galice on the Rogue River.  It was windy and took them a little more than six!

This group of ladies joined us for Rogue River rafting on Sunday.  They were obvious dog lovers!

Family road trip with a stop rafting the Rogue River

This charming family with mom joined us this afternoon for our half day trip.  This is the family's first road trip.  They left San Diego and drove up the coast a far amount of the way to the Oregon coast and Redwoods.  Daughters ages 9, 7, and 6 joined dad in the kayak for a good part of the day.

Saturday prep for Rogue River raft rentals

One stack of the four stacks of boats going out tomorrow for Ferron's Rogue River raft rentals.  Then there's a half day guided Rogue River raft trip.  Oh, it must be Saturday!

Rogue River Rafting on July 17

Ferron said one of the things that stood out for him today as a conversation he had with the mom of this family.  They are visiting from Florida and staying at Out 'N About Treehouses www.treehouses.com
 Mom asked, "Does the river turn off at night?"  Ferron learned that they had lived near in river in Georgia where the summer Olympic kayak competitions were held.  Years ago copper mining upstream also killed all the wild life in the river.  Now  the river is turned on when there is a need for peak power electrical generation.

Father and daughter rafting on the Rogue River

This father and his 10 year old daughter joined Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips for a Sunday morning trip.  Dad is a foreign service officer and lived in Poland for three years.  They were in southern Oregon visiting mom/grandmom.  Though dad has fished on the Rogue River before he had never been Rogue River rafting.

July 11 Rogue River raft trip

Two sisters and their kids and their kids' partners joined Ferron's Rogue River Rafting Fun Trips today.  The groups came from So CA and Arizona.  Everyone traded off in kayaks and there were good water fights with innocent bystanders. Today's sightings were an osprey catching a fish and a red fox on the beach.  Bottom photo is our flotilla for the day trip.  Ferron tries to make his craft comfortable and shady for those who choose to kick back and listen to his amazing stories.

Oh we forgot to mention in our post about this article in the
Seattle times http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/outdoors/2018545097_odrogue01.html?cmpid=2628#.T-3vVLsQo5I.facebook
Elijah Wood and other creative folks from Hollywood rented their raft from Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips.  The group camped on their own guided trip led by Randall Einhorn, a former Aussie river guide, who has been involved with the production of The Office,  Wilfred and probably many more than we know of..

July 9 Rogue River half day raft trip

The four member family from so California spent the morning in the raft when they weren't swimming and saw osprey, herons and mergansers.  Both they and the father and son who joined us were visiting Washington and then returning home.

Rogue River Rafting for a birthday celebration

Rogue River rafting trip July 3

Four sisters and their families gathered at one of their sibling's homes in the Rogue Valley. Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips was fortunate to guide them on a Rogue River rafting trip. However, Curry and Pupeye ran off which prompted a respite on the beach below while Ferron hiked upstream to retrieve them!
