I knew nothing about Grants Pass when I first arrived except it looked like a good spot from which to explore the incredible Rogue River. It's a nice sized town with a Super WalMart to sweeten the deal. I wanted to check out the whitewater rafting and jetboating fun, and then discovered the Merlin-Galice road - then I was told I couldn't miss seeing the nearby Oregon Caves National Monument. I knew I didn't want to miss Wildlife Images, a rehabilitation and education center for wounded wild animals, as well as Howling Acres, a nearby sanctuary for wolves. So I decided to stay a month and see if their visitors center was correct in its billing it as a "one of the best places in western USA for whitewater adventures, forest trails, and fly-fishing. A year 'round playground for outdoor enthusiasts of every age." I certainly wasn't bored during my stay here...

I've also said since then that if I had to choose a place to live from all the places I've been (and I don't go back to Austin) that it would be Grants Pass. The winter was mild, there was plenty to do - close to Ashland, Medford, Crater Lake and all kinds of other good Oregon stuff.
