Reunion .....

On July 7 a few of us took a jetboat trip down the Rogue. What fun...and wet...and wild. Dueling jetboats! A peaceful stop is followed by stealth boat suddenly swishing past sending up a sudden spray! Halfway through we stopped at the food ranch for an awesome meal of ribs and chicken with all the 'fixing.
