It’s been such a busy summer in the Upper Rogue that last week nearly flew by before we could finish this newsletter! Personally, I enjoyed a morning stroll to the Main Street Coffee Shop in downtown Eagle Point—sometimes there’s even live music to greet you with your coffee. We also treated ourselves to a refreshing Pineapple Dole Whip at the Butte Creek Mill and topped off the week with an exhilarating adventure at Crater Lake Zipline.

And now… we’re ready for another week packed with local activities for all ages!
