From Pennsylvania to the Rogue River

It was a hot, sunny Sunday and this family from PA was visiting a relative from Portland. They stayed at Out 'N About Treesort and joined us for the morning half day trip. The three and six year olds had a chance to paddle with their dad, too!

Great group on the Rogue River on a HOT July day

Yesterday guests from Michigan and Crescent City CA joined Ferron on the Rogue River. The couple from Crescent City kayaked the whole day. The family traded in and out. They have been touring Oregon and California. They're making a great loop and already explored Mt. Shasta. They are headed to the Redwoods as they meander their way to SF. It's fun to hear about people's vacations and we appreciate their including Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips.

Three generations on the Rogue River with Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips

Grandparents, children, in laws, and six grandchildren drove from CA Friday, spent the night in Grants Pass, rafted the Rogue River with Sue and Ferron on Saturday and drove home Sunday morning. We were delighted to spend the day with them and thrilled that they chose us to take them on a family rafting trip. One of the girls who paddled in Sue's boat most of the day asked, "Why isn't it Sue's Fun Trips?"

A busy July 4 week end on the Rogue River

Our roomie/friend, Valerie Schlaht, took these pictures of some of the Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips rentals that went out last Saturday. Thanks so much to our loyal customers.

Rainy morning June trip

Family members from CA and the Applegate area joined Ferron this morning for a rainy morning on the river. While many kayaks were requested, only two actually got in them. The family saw Michael Franti at Britt last night and planned to go wine tasting this afternoon. Meanwhile, the badly needed rains continue.

Great day to raft the Rogue River

What a great day to be on the Rogue River. The four women came from FL and Olympia, WA. Only one of the four is retired and the rest save up their vacation time and travel internationally and this time nationally. They had been to Crater Lake, spent the morning on the Rogue River and were headed to Gold Beach.

The other two folk are staff from the Siskiyou Field Institute www.thesfi.org They won the silent auction item for a two person guided trip that Ferron's Fun Trips donated to the SFI Birds and Brew fundraiser. Such an honor to take them down the river. Besides kayaking and battling winds, they saw a bald eagle, an immature bald eagle and a red tailed hawk on today's Rogue River raft trip.

A Sunday float with local Galicians

A local kayaker from Galice, his wife, and her friends were on the Rogue River yesterday with Ferron. The group floated from Galice to Grave Creek. The kids recently lost their dog so Curry and Pupeye accompanied Ferron for some dog energy and loving.

June 3 Rogue River rafting with three generations from Arizona

Grandparents, parents and kids, the two youngest ages 3 and 5, spent the day with Ferron's Fun Trips. The family drove from AZ, went to Disneyland and are spending four days at the Lily Pad Treehouse close to Out and About Treesort. Grandma and one of the kids made it through Argo Rapid with the no paddle method.

First Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trip in June

This family from So Dakota joined Ferron this afternoon as part of their Oregon tour.  They were staying at Out 'N About Treesort, traveling to Crater Lake and the coast.  The 14, 11, 5 year old and dad took turns in the double and single kayak.  Mom took pictures.

The wildflowers along Hog Creek Road and the Rogue River are in bloom and stunningly beautiful.  Wild iris, wild lilac, vetch, wild lupine, and columbine are in abundance.  It's a glorious time to raft the Rogue River and hike around the Merlin Galice area, too.
