Telephone Hole Riffle

We had a nice easy morning at the lodge, including a nice hearty breakfast. By 10:00 we were back in the river. Samantha and Franklin had a chance to run some rapids in the Kayaks here and there and we continued deeper into the wild lands.

A real highlight came late in the day when we stopped at an old homestead site that was now a museum. There was a wonderful swimming hole in the creek along the property that we hiked up too. The water was crystal clear and even colder than the Rogue! Franklin and I jumped off the big boulder several times - hopefully the guide will email us some pictures.

The second lodge was even nicer than the first and we'd had a good time playing games and relaxing. We watched some of the videos together on a big TV and laughed at the thrills and spills.

Attached is the one picture I took that day - the lens soaked from the wave Samantha and I took to the face while in the raft!Read more
