Today we were up a creek.... make that the Rouge River. We did the 64 mile round trip starting in Gold Beach and going up river to Agnes, Oregon. It was beautiful, educational and a blast. Mostly it was an adrenalin rush jet boat adventure. It is a definite bucket list event.

| Hold on tight..... we were in for a RIDE. |
 |
| We are headed for that little v in the canyon at 35MPH. |

| We only need 8 inches of water. You could see the rocky bottom. |
We stopped in Agnes and had a great BBQ lunch sitting outside in the sun, then we were ready for the even faster trip back down the Rouge River. Every 5 or 6 miles the skipper would warn us to hold on tight and spin an instant 360 degree turn. He also might go from 35MPH to a very quick stop by reversing the 3 water jet engines. It was a wild ride.
It was another very good day. Life is good.
Sounds fun! "FASTEW! FASTEW!," as Chee would say.
