I grew up in Roseburg, and we would float the Umpqua
River in inner tubes. There were many rivers around the area that were wonderful for viewing and playing in. Lots of springs and waterfalls tucked away in the woods, ahhhh. When we would go camping we would detour to this wonderful spring where the water was so sweet and clear, and fill up gallon jugs with it.
My brother drove his station wagon to the ocean, bicycled back, then kayaked all the way to the ocean.
