First, congratulations to Tiffany, who has won our Reader Challenge!

Now, the final episode of The Adventures of Yumiko and Eden in Oregon...

Our intrepid heroes make their way from Grants Pass to the banks of the Wild and Scenic Rogue River. Over the course of the next four days, they run challenging rapids, spot a bald eagle and a black bear, and bond with their 4 guides, a rubber chicken named Walter, and 11 fellow rafters (yes, even the 4 kids and 17 year old boy). Miko executes a picture-perfect rescue when one of the inflatable kayaks flips. Eden swigs Chivas from the bottle with the guides, jumps off 15-20 foot high rocks (see photo), swims rapids, and sunburns her feet in a sexy zebra pattern. At trip's end, it is with heavy hearts and serious heat rash that Miko and Eden change into dry clothes and speed south toward home.
