Bouy Goes Rogue

Oregon Coast – Pistol River To Rogue River

We managed to find 2 hours of sunshine amidst several days of rain and fog. Bouy took advantage of that.

Beyond this bridge (at about river mile 11) is Siskiyou National Forests – we went about 25 miles inland on a forest service road (almost to Agnes, Or.), but the rain, fog, dampness, and ugly clearcuts turned us back to the coast where at least we could get an internet connection and cold beer.

You can see a small patch of the massive clearcuts on steep slopes in the top background of this photo (I couldn’t bear to take photos of the huge cuts we saw). This was a great campsite and we would have spent a week or so here, but I was unsure of the river flows, flood elevations, the stability of the riparian gravel, and heavy rainfall was forecast.

Several miles south of there, we managed a walk on the beach at the Pistol River (and saw some expensive real estate):
