Grand Ronde River Float 6/17/09-6/21/09

I got a call from Ryan about a week in advance. "We're planning to run the Grand Ronde River next week, and we have an extra seat if you can go. It's looking to be a great trip! You really should come, it will be a lot of fun!!" Having some extra vacation time on hand, I requested the time off and started gathering my gear together.

We headed out early Wednesday morning. We arrived at the Minam State park about five hours later. The campground was empty except for a few overly tamed deer.

Soon after getting our camp set up the campground began to fill up with other river goers. The next morning we were not the first to make it to the boat launch, but we still managed to squeeze out and get on the river ahead of the other groups.

The timing of the trip was just about perfect for both water levels and the flowers being in bloom.

Despite the rain almost every night, the weather was good during the day with the exception of the last day. This trip was a fun and relaxing good time.
