#3 - The McKenzie - 7.1.2014

The McKenzie is definitely a river worth multiple entries and bonus points as there are so many sections to explore.  It may be one of the prettiest rivers in the country and we are lucky to live so close to it.  So close, in the summer we can hit it after work and bring home fresh trout for dinner.  

And, we'd like to introduce Barney...quite possibly the ugliest raft out there.  One thing is for sure, it won't be stolen.  And if it is, we will find it.  We are in the market for a larger raft with more capacity for longer trips, but Barney allows us access to water we are less experienced on and less likely to explore in our drift boat. 

We've also discovered our favorite way to eat trout.  Skinned and breaded with cracker crumbs, pan fried in peanut oil.  It may not be the lowest calorie, but totally delicious.
