Rogue River Oregon

August 21, 2007 we took a boat ride with Hellgate Jetboat Excursions. They get about 60 people onto one boat and send about six boats out. They run down the Rogue River out of Grants Pass, OR. The boats go really fast and slow down at different points throughout the tour to show wildlife and points of interest. They eventually take you down to their restaurant, which is basically one large patio deck. Here you're treated to a good home cooked meal with a solo guitarist for entertainment. On the ride back to Grants Pass, the driver of the boat makes sure everyone is soaking wet. Two boats pair up and spin around each other, drenching everyone on board. We had a really good time doing this. Some of the canyon pictures had movies filmed here. Enjoy the pictures:



This is the restaurant where we ate. It was a huge patio set up with long tables. We shared dinner with another couple that were a couple of years younger than us. They served barbecue chicken, ribs, potatoes, pitchers of beer and more. It was a unique experience that we'll always remember.
