We did so much travelling this year that I need to go back and recap some of our adventures. I already put up quite a few photos from our trip to Spain on Petillant at http://www.flickr.com/photos/petillant so I won't revisit that trip (at least not now). After Spain we went to the US to visit family and go rafting on the Rogue River in Oregon with friends. We flew into Portland and took a couple of days to get to the river, tasting wines along the way. The rafting trip was for 5 days in which our group of 9 played, floated, ate, and camped along the river which had mostly category 3 whitewater. It was a great trip with beautiful scenery and wonderful weather.
The adventure company that we used for the trip is called OARS http://www.oars.com/ and this is our second vacation with them. In 2007 our same group rafted on the Green River in Utah. That too was a great trip but the water in the Rogue was much more exciting. OARS supplies all the boats, gear, tents, and guides who do all the cooking and make sure everyone stays safe. The guides are knowledgable about the geology, flora, fauna, etc of the region so discussions on the rafts are very interesting.
After 5 days on the river we were ready to taste wines on the way back to the airport where we rented a car to spend another few days in the region. Stay tuned for my next post from Timberline Lodge.
