Flying the Jordan Cove LNG Pipeline Route
A few weeks ago, I got to join an aerial tour by EcoFlight of the proposed Pacific Connector Gas pipeline crossing of the Pacific Crest Trail and the Rogue River near Shady Cove. If built, the Pacific Connector Gas pipeline would transport fracked gas from Malin, Oregon to the Jordan Cove Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export terminal at Coos Bay. The fracked gas pipeline would cut through more than 485 rivers and streams, including the Klamath, Umpqua, Coos, and Coquille Rivers.

Cheers to 50 Years of Wild & Scenic Rivers
A few weeks ago, I had the honor of introducing ten locals to the Wild & Scenic section of the lower Rogue River. I’ve been guiding on the Rogue and other western rivers for over 20 years but there’s something about introducing my home river to folks for the first time. The connection is immediate, intense, and a gift to witness.

Turning Toward Bear Creek
As a mom to young kids, we go to parks a lot! And as Medford residents, we often strap kids to our bikes and travel the Bear Creek Greenway along the stretch between Hawthorne Park, Bear Creek Park, and U.S. Cellular Park. We pass many trail users on our outings including runners, bikers, families with strollers and wobbling toddlers, dog-walkers, and young people on skateboards. We ring our bike bells, flash the peace sign, and carry on.

With one smooth motion, our guide Kate navigated us into the calm of an eddy in the middle of the Wild Rogue’s iconic Blossom Bar. Under Kate’s careful eye, we gently bobbed up and down as three other rafts made their way through the famous rapid. With cascading green water above and below, it felt like forever and yet we never wanted to leave.
