Thanks very much Mike. Once my looks started to go I had to get good at something.0

A couple pictures from yesterday’s walk. Canada geese in the river and some hay harvest symmetry.

I went out looking for lobster mushrooms last weekend. The only thing fruiting in the woods I was in was blackberries. We just got an inch of rain the last couple days, so maybe I should head back out. Chanterelles are just a few more rainstorms away!

I wish I'd had a camera during today's outdoor exercise.
We were sculling a double shell in a heavy fog, with a thick coating of bright-green duckweed on the dead-calm river. So quiet! Behind us, we left something that looked like an alligator track, where the duckweed was displaced: There was a central slither-mark, and "footprints" at each point where the oarblades had dipped in/out of the water.
Magically surreal morning.

I love being on the water in the morning. Still water, sounds carry forever.3 -
We had a little walk on the Ridgeline Trail this weekend. One of the trailheads is two blocks away. How convenient!

Lower Proxy Falls along the Old McKenzie Highway. We went up to enjoy the fall colors on the first full day of fall. We stopped a few places on our way home to stomp around for mushrooms and explore new trails. We found a few white chanterelles, and that was a surprise. We found one lobster mushroom, and that's it.

Well.....
We did it again!
We're just back from our third five-day Rogue River trip for the season! Here's a few images from our trip. Feel free to check out the short (seven minute) video.

Well... Just back from lap number four on the Rogue. This time it was just three days, but the weather was great. We floated by a mama bear and two cubs on our row out.
I will probably put a video together in the next week or so. This will be my last Rogue trip for the year.
Below the put-in but above the beginning of the Wild & Scenic section, we floated by four does munching on water plants:
The blue Saturn raft navigates near the crux move of Blossom Bar as viewed from Picture Eddy:
The Wild & Scenic Rivers Act celebrated 50 years on October 2 this year. The grey Avon raft was built in 1968 -- the same year! Yes, that's a fifty year old RAFT! It was stored in a barn for a lot of years, but that Avon rubber sure holds up nicely:
On the last day, we saw a mother bear and her two cubs. You can barely see the cinnamon colored one on the big boulder on the right side of the image. The black cub is near the top right corner.
I get to unpack and clean tomorrow. That will lock in some good memories of a great trip.

You might start to get tired of pictures of river trips. Rest assured; they won't show sunny, warm weather or fall colors for the next several months. But this weekend was fabulous! Took a day trip on the North Santiam. I ran it as a club trip since I've only organized one other club trip this year, and I support clubs.
I'll limit it to just a few, though. Enjoy.

First, there's a pumpkin balanced on a rock mid-river. Must be October:

October 21 is International Day of the Nacho. So I brought tortilla chips, goat cheese, black olives, and mild chiles. I brought a brazing torch to melt the cheese. It was a fun addition to a wonderful trip:
