A Day of Fun at Grants Pass


Tuesday 3 of us Klamath Falls Charming Chicks took a day for some great fun.  We left K.F. at 6 am and went to Grants Pass (first visit for me) and we went on the Hellsgate Rogue River Boat trip.  There are several trips and we did the 3 hour lunch ride.  It is actually longer.  We boarded the boat about 9:30 am and didn/t get back untill 1:30. We cruised down the river and saw eagles nest as well as blue heron and Osprey and Egrets. We also saw deer along the edge of the river.  After an hour and half we pulled up to a beautiful lodge style restaurant for an amazingly good lunch.  After lunch we boarded the boat and then the fun began.  We rode down Hells canyon for a while and then on the way back we did alot of 360 turns.  Of course we all got splashed and it was so much fun. This was well worth the cost of the trip.  Would do it again in a minute.  I hear the weekend brunch trip is fun too.  The weather was just great too.  It was a beautiful trip and when you see all the beauty in nature it makes you appreciate what God has given us to enjoy. You can't miss me in the 4th row from front in white with hands in the air.



On the way home (after stopping in our favorite Jackonsville and going to fruit stands) we stopped on the way home to pick blackberries.  Oh I got stuck and my fingers are a mess but the Jam we will have is going to taste soooooooo good!.

grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
