Day 2 - 8/16 - Rafting!

Those photos are on my camera, and we have no internet @ the cg, so for now there will only be details...

Our group began our day with a visit to the High Desert Museum, where we got close to nature and Oregon's past, followed by lunch at Trout House in Sunriver...fabulous!

After lunch, we braved rafting on the Upper Deschutes River, and everyone survived. We floated through the beautiful Deschutes National Forest, where flows of lava from Lava Lands National Monument shaped the Deschutes River over 7,000 years ago. Towering pomderosa pines and quaking aspens covered the landscape.

We visit Lava Lands Monument tomorrow

The rafting was fun, with everyone getting soaking wet. Of course! Our paddle weary bodies are now ready for happy hour and our easy salad supper. Ben-Gay, anyone?

  2. Mm, even without the photos, it sounds like you had an excellent time out there! You can really get a lot of fun and work out of rafting. That excitement from the sights you see are so worth it, and the rest that comes after are great as well.
