Day 2: Wildlife Safari, Rogue River

Day 2: Wildlife Safari, Rogue River

We rose around 7a to eat breakfast and pack up. Our goal was to meet our friends, the Howells, at Wildlife Safari about 11a. Kevin was guessing that four hours would suffice, but was a little off. Breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage was a tasty camping meal and then the cleaning/packing task began. We really didn't expect it to take until 10:15a! So, we were running late.

Once we got back into cell service we learned the good news that the Howells were running late as well. After a quick stop to get some additional supplies, we met them around noon at Wildlife Safari. We had a good time driving through the park and walking through the exhibits. We went through the park last August, too, on the way back from Coos Bay, but were in a hurry to get home so didn't walk through the other exhibits. We're glad we were able to this time.








We did a late picnic lunch at the park, swung by the DQ in Winston for tasty treat, and then headed south to the Rogue River. We are camping tonight at Indian Mary Park on the Rogue.

Weather is great, mid to upper 70s. A woman in Merlin told us that it was 103 just a few days ago!

Dinner (hot dogs!), then Kevin will head down to fish the Rogue. Who chose these camping spots anyway?

  2. We are camping at Indian Mary later this summer! Also, ask Kevin about the picture of lions my dad took at Wildlife Safari. It was in my locker in high school (family blog, I won't elaborate).
