Rogue River rafting on August 9

Five siblings, mom, and grandmom joined Ferron for the morning half day Rogue River rafting trip.  The family hails from the northern part of the state and were staying in Ashland where they were seeing a half dozen or more Oregon Shakespeare festival plays.  All the siblings traded off in the single and double kayak and the youngest finally got in one herself.  During the morning the smoky skies dissipated a bit.

August 6 Rogue River rafting trip with mom, daughters, and Curry, our dog

Mom and her two daughters joined us for today's Rogue River rafting trip.  The girls wanted a dog to come along and Curry jumped in the boat.  This was Curry's first river trip without Pupeye, his elder, and he did an excellent job.  The crew spent time along the river's edge and the girls got to explore minnows and river wildlife.  They spent the previous evening at Out 'N About Treesort and were headed back there again this evening.

Rogue River rafting trip on August 2

A Reno family camping at Valley of the Rogue Park decided to brave the smoke and raft with us yesterday.  This is their annual trip to Oregon and they are headed to Brookings today for some fishing.  They were in good spirits and had a great day on the smoky Rogue River.  They saw lots of turtles, deer, a bald eagle, osprey, mink and a beaver.  When things warmed up in the afternoon, dad and daughter got in the double tomkat and son in the single.

A step-mom treated her step daughter and grandson to a day with Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips.  Ferron said they did not see anyone else on the river yesterday.  The visibility, as you can see, was actually a little better!
