Default Video of the Rogue River run. I think the vid was taken Friday, so my boat is not in it



Lower Rogue. Ran from about 10 miles above Gold Beach to about Blossom
Bar. Which is about 50 miles up river. The toilet was at the Dinner and
there was a womens john and then the mens john that made sure the seat was
up.


Mrs. G and I took the run to Blossom Bar last summer in one of Jerry's Jets.
It was a great run and I got some good photos of the wildlife along the way
(eagles, osprey, otters and deer). Your video contained many familiar
sights.

Our boat was a 40 footer powered by three Chevy 496 V8's The skipper
firewalled the throttles on the way back to Gold Beach and I clocked him at
52 mph with the portable GPS I was carrying. The current was probably good
for maybe 5 mph of the 52 at that part of the river.
