Vacation: Day 5

The Rogue River is amazing! If you ever get the chance you have to check out the Jerry's Jetboat Tours in Gold Beach. We woke up today at 6:45 to get ready for our tour which departed at 8:30am. The trip was a total of 104 miles round trip....the longest of the 3 that they offer. The ride was super fun and the scenery is breathtaking. For fear of getting my camera wet, I only brought along my point and shoot.

Here is a shot upriver from the boat.

We stopped at a remote little lodge called Singing Springs for lunch. It had a great view of the river while we ate.

Be prepared to have hair like this after the tour is over!

And here is a cool video of one of the many spins that took place on the tour.



The tour ended around 4pm and we headed out to continue our trip to our next destination...Monterey and Carmel by the Sea. Since we are taking the coast the entire way we got a chance to go through the Redwoods in Northern California. Check out this view from the Northern California coastline...

These things are massive!

Sandy posing for me so you can see how big they are in comparison.

Well that concludes day 5. Tomorrow afternoon we arrive in Carmel/Monterey so be sure to check back for those photos!
