Agness, OR

My cousin Tom and his wife Linda have an idyllic place on the Rogue River in Agness. Agness is nestled in the Siskiyou National Forest. You may remember that Philip and I spent the 4th of July with Tom at their place in Vermont. Now it was Linda's turn to host us.



The view of the Rogue from the house.



We enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the historic Lucas Lodge.






Sunday morning we paddled the Rogue. That afternoon we had the pleasure of joining Linda's friends for dinner on the Illinois River. Jim lives on a bluff across the river only accessible by boat. He built his own home, transporting materials, appliances, furniture and supplies via a cable strung across the river once each summer. The three of us paddled upstream before dinner to swim in a beautiful, crystal clear swimming hole. What a perfect day!

Fish grilling on the fire.



Sumptuous dinner above the river topped off by Linda's fabulous strawberry rhubarb pie!!






The happy couple with full stomachs and lots of great memories.
