Can you pick us out of the crowd? Don't we look cute in our life jackets. The boat has 3 motors and 1000 horse power. And does some really fun 360's. Yes, you do get a little wet. Up in the mist is another jet boat coming down, you can hardly see the boat and it is forty feet long! We are watching from our boat.
This is the dinosaur tree!

This is Sadie. She has over 500 boat trips on her butt! And a very nice dog.She loves the river otters. They play with her. Going down the rapids! We left at 8 in the morning and after 104 miles on the Rogue, we got back at 4. Long day , but way too much fun.
This is just interesting. See all these trees roots on the outside of the rock!

Cape Blanco lighthouse and I made Clarence go up there and it was cool, but very windy. Just before the lighthouse we parked and we saw 3 whales. Too far away to get a good pic. Just nice and peaceful

Port of Port Orford..... They roll the fishing boats over to those yellow cranes and lower them into the water. Never saw that before. This is too funny since our rig is named Paradise Point. Our saying is "Just another day in paradise point!"

This is Jerry's Jet Boats. We are going to take the 104 mile trip on Monday. Can't wait!!!! Oh and by the way, these kids would jump off the rock to the applause of the boat. An island in low tide at the mouth of the Rouge River where the pelicans hang out. I am going to try to get closer because their are a lot of pelican babies out there, but I have to get permission from the Coast Guard first. Wish me luck!
It was just a pretty spot. We also saw a dog surfing. He would swim out and then jump into the wave, turn inland and ride the wave back in! I saw him do this just once and Clarence saw him twice. I didn't get a pic. I guess he was tired, wish we would of got there a little sooner.
