Not Quite Rogue Squadron…
For our final day in Oregon, we went on an all day trip down the Rogue River in a Jet Boat! (see mailboat.com ) Me in my official Mailboat Jacket. (since I left my VCBkids one at Henry’s) It was a 104 mile trip that went from 8am to 3pm up the river and back. It was mostly smooth sailing, but there were a few areas with some fun rapids. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! We were told there was a very good chance at getting to see some wildlife, so I was very excited when I spotted a wild cat…. Don’t worry, I protected Sara from this savage beast! The views were, again, spectacular. There were many small waterfalls… And we ran into many rafters. (well, not literally!) The boat was extremely fast, and since it is jet powered (by two powerful chevy auto engines), it can travel extremely fast in only ten inches of water. It did spray up some, but a water ride at an amusement park will still get you wetter. It was the rain that fell a few times that got us more wet than the spray from the boat. The wimps got off at the 64 mile waiting…
