Soon after leaving Crater Lake we traveled alongside the Rogue River. We saw a picturesque narrow gorge it has cut in some basalts. There are many campgrounds in the national forest on the way to Medford. The Rogue is known for its rafting and boating. We have decided to skip the Lava Beds NM in California. Rich was able to get us a booking in a campground in Grant’s Pass. It is quite a big town so I imagine we will see some good fireworks on the 4th. Our campground is on the Rogue and there are tour boats and jet skis going up and down. Many rafters have passed us as they float down on the strong current. We are next to a dog park, so Rocky had a great time off leash. He is so frustrated being on the leash so much of the time. We washed him off in the river to clean off the dog slobber and to cool him down. This area is currently experiencing a heat wave. The river is really cold but Rob and Mike love wading in the cool water. I worry about the strong current taking Mike downstream. This heat is such a contrast to what we were experiencing two weeks ago. The boys enjoy being plugged in to 110V. They can recharge all their DS’s and cell phones, play the radio and have lights on. It is also good to have the computer so I can write about the day. I am looking forward to our relaxing weekend.
