I just came back from a 10 day, 2000 mile road trip. We went around California, Oregon and Washington.

I had some great pics but received this notice:

Nice pictures. You didn't hook up with High by any chance?

Daris

 

[havasu]

No. He was too busy picking up his medical marijuana!

Some good looking shots there and it looks like the weather was kind for you Hav
I remember seals sitting on a wharf, San Fran I think, and they barked all bloody night
And one day I would love to meet High

Grate Shots Hav.

What is that wooden thing? Very nice pictures. The stream on looks very relaxing.

The wooden thing is a rock pulverizer. It was taken at the Empire Gold Mine in Grass Valley, They would place the gold rock dug out of the mines, pulverize the rock, then pour the dust onto a bed of mercury, then finally wash the gold out using arsenic. The arsenic and left over mercury was then washed downstream and is the reason we in California can only eat a small amount of fish before we get sick from mercury and arsenic poisoning.

More pics from Empire Mine...

Great pic's, great country to see Hav. One of my favorite places is Pikes Street market in Seattle. Also, the Rogue jet boat rides, at least it looks like it. Did you do the dinner run? You don't come away from that short on food. Did you see High?

My G/F's aunt lives directly across the street from the Rogue Jet boat dock. We took the 7 hour, 104 mile run, that gave us an hour stop to have lunch at a really great restaurant. When we left at 0800, it was about 50 degrees. By the time we had lunch, it was 101 in the shade. It was well worth the $85 they charged per person.

The pilot said his boat had 3 small block engines in it, with a combined 1400 HP. The boat uses 135 gallons of gas for the 7 hour trip. The best part was when he spun that boat in a tight circle getting everyone soaking wet.

 

[Darol Wester]

OK. You did the mail run out of Gold Beach. Never done that one, only the one down river from Grants Pass. They do the boat spin there too. Those boats run 2 454 Chevy's that also suck up the fuel. Once while fishing for Salmon down where you ran, it was about 6 in the morning and we heard one of those boats coming. A faint roar from down river. We pulled anchor and moved to the side. When it came around the bend, there were no passengers. It was piled high from front to back with cases of beer headed to the lodge. He just smiled and roared on by. Sure was a pretty sight.

They have a new policy that when they pass other boats, they must idle past them since these boats create a 4' wake. We did the trip on a Friday but heard on Saturday and Sunday, there are so many rafts and canoes that you pretty much idle the entire trip.

Awesome photos Hav. I got to get out there .

 

[Floorist]

I like that tree that looks like it is walking.

 

[havasu]

They call that the dinosaur tree. Yeah, it was pretty cool.

 

[highup]

They hit 101 today. I didn't think there was enough water for the long run this late in the year. We did the 64 mile trip back about 1970. Those engines sound sweet.
