Out of Town and Overnight Trips ...

Each year we schedule special out of town trips. This year we are including Jet boat trips up the Rogue River to a hidden ranch for a ranch-style lunch, the Boise Bass Festival, the "Painted Ladies" of Port Townsend, and several other special events. Contact us for dates and places, or make arrangements for your own special event.

We, too, had a wonderful day with you. Thank you so much for driving us to Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge. We have been looking at our pictures and remarking what a terrific time we had. It was great to sit back and enjoy the gorgeous scenery with a native Oregonian who could tell us about the area. All the best to you and your family.
