Today was an exciting day of getting wet with a 104 mile whitewater thrill on Jerry’s Rogue River Jetboat. These jet boats are powered by three 8 cylinder Chevy engines, have a flat bottom and virtually no draft. We roared up the wild and scenic Rogue river following the routes established by the mail boats in 1895.

Besides crossing a number of rapids and doing spins in river basins we saw beautifully rugged canyons and quite a bit of wildlife including bald eagles, turkey vultures, black bears and deer, just to name a few.

We did not take a camera because of the expected water spray.

On the way to our campground we stopped and photographed beautiful rock and dune formations from the side of the road.

Our campground was right by the ocean and we arrived just in time for sunset.
