ROGUE RIVER WILD AND SCENIC WHITEWATER RUN
------It's hard to force a leopard to change his spots. El and I have, for most of our lives together, been whitewater and downriver enthusiasts. We formerly led trips through some of the most beautiful canyons in the western US -- Grand Canyon, Cataract Canyon, Desolation - Gray, Stillwater - Labyrinth, Big Bend of the Rio Grande, Lower Rio Grande Canyons, Snake, Buffalo, Middle Fork, San Juan, Dolores, Umpqua, McKenzie, Willamette, Missouri Wild and Scenic -- but we have never been down the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon. We had an opportunity to run the river with New Zealand friends, so we tied off Halcyon halfway down the Columbia River and took a five-day 'cruise' in rafts and kayaks.
