This is one of many small creeks that feed the river with water. The Roque is fed only from rain and springs from early spring until winter as there is no snow melt between its mouth and its source at the base of the mountain that contains Crater Lake. | This is one of a number of encampments on sandbars that we passed. This one looks to be two families. They bring everything in by boat and spend a great week or summer along the river. They then take everthing back out by boat. | Having fun splashing the rock! It was so much fun, Kevin turned the boat around, went back downstream and turned around and did it again! | And here is Kevin explaining our bathroom stop, lunch stop and that as we went further up the river we would be putting on life preservers as the rapids and hidden rocks would increase. |
... and another bald eagle. | ... and we contiue upriver enjoying the view. | Finally we made it to our lunch stop. It was just in time as we were all hungery. Also the bathrooms were timely! | (1 Comments) If you look through the brush on the left, you will see the river far below. Now, remember that high water year of 1964. Well, the water was just below the level of where we were eating so imagine that whole canyon filled with water! |
Back on the river our boat is waiting for us. | And away we go with Gage Miller on the left and Michael Metsch in the green shirt. | Here Alice Kamm is holding onto her hat and Larry Inoksen, on the right, has given up on his hat. | It is the spraying of water as the boat twists and turns that periodically gets the occupants wet. That is particularly true of those in the back half of the boat! That will be important to remember later. |
