For over 20 years (with the exception of a handful of years) we have floated down the Wild and Scenic part of the Rogue River with a group of wonderful folks. Unfortunately forest fires prevented our planned trip this year. Our group had a zoom meeting a few days from our Rogue launch date, and within a few minutes of exploring possibilities, we had a consensus that three nights on the Deschutes River was a great alternative to not having a raft trip at all.
Here are some photos of a great trip.

Hooking up a 4 burner propane stove. (Luxury camping!)

Take a seat, then we'll push off.

| Year after year: My chauffeur. |

| Unexpected scenery, horses on the Tribal side of the river. |
 |
| There was an abundance of osprey, one on every dead tree! |
Friendly geese and gorgeous rocky cliffs.
Family kayakers.
All that has to be loaded up on the last morning.
We returned to the west side of the Cascades to find the skies full of smoke from the Cedar Creek Fire and to learn of evacuation orders for the small towns of Oakridge and Westfir. It certainly brings up emotions for folks in the McKenzie Valley!Just two years ago it was our community hit by the Holiday Farm Fire. Our hopes are the fire will be under control before reaching the towns. ðŸ˜
