Ball & Chain
Although my wedding is still about one month away, my bachelor party begins tonight! Instead of doing the typical bachelor party, I am going to head off with a group of my good friends and raft a 40 mile section of the Rogue River, over the course of the next 3 days.
For those of you who love whitewater this is one of Oregon’s best whitewater rivers, much like the Gauley River of West Virginia or the Salmon River of Idaho. The river is loaded with good rapids (two class V, one is a 12 foot waterfall), great salmon fishing, and old growth forests that runs each side of the river most of the trip.
This is my favorite Rapid on the trip.
I will update everyone when I return on Sunday.

have a great time…didn’t realize the wedding was approaching so quickly! Hopefully you’ll still be with us next Wed. as I’ll be stopping by the office.
Cheers and have fun!

How did you talk six strippers and a DJ into doing a Class V?
I have rafted the zambezi and our guide gave us some sage advice on approaching the first Class V - paddle…or die…!!
I still get weak boweled thinking about it

Donovan mate, you really need to do your honeymoon in Bali. My mate Palu will take you ( actualy both of us) out in some big surf and you will be the boat in that picture.
Palu was telling me that in surf over 25ft sometimes your board will drag you 100 meters underwater and you are almost unconcious on surfacing.
Come on out mate the ‘washing machine’ is waiting.
