Five days on the Rogue River in Oregon. Wow.

First of all, the immersion with current friends and new friends from O.R.E. was really lovely. We talked water and paddling, food, turtles, eagles and river otters. We immersed in the beautiful wild and scenic portion of the Rogue River of Oregon and the cold creeks and waterfalls feeding it.

After a partial day of paddling, we set up camp while the guides cooked for us–not just dinner, but hors d’oeuvres as well. And all was scrumptious. At a few camps we jumped in the river a bit upstream and floated down–lovely! Bocce was a daily late afternoon ritual. Rogue River plus two side really cold pools = 3.

And today, August 17, 2023, I can log three different immersions over the last few days. Tenaya Lake in Yosemite High Country, Mirror Lake in Yosemite Valley, and a lake I’m keeping secret up in the Rock Creek area.

OMG, no people, amazing full immersion. I hope to get back to rowing soon, it’s time to get the shell off the ceiling of the garage and out into the water before it’s too late for this season. Stay tuned!

So that’ 3 + 3 = 6 (impressive math 🙂 plus previous 41 = 47.
That’s 23 to go. Better get going!
