The River Wild

     Whitewater rafting is one of my hobbies. I set up a few pictures in the left column of this blog. My colleagues and I enjoyed rafting on the Rogue river in Oregon more than ten years ago.
     By the way, the other day I found an interesting DVD movie titled "The River Wild" in the library of my English conversation school and it was associated with whitewater rafting. http://kumo.typepad.jp/weblog/2008/02/this-years-big-.html  While watching it, a scene rang a bell. I checked the internet movie database (IMDb) and found Grants Pass, Oregon, USA in the list of locations. Grants Pass was a starting point of our rafting on the Rogue river. The memory of long ago had suddenly come up for me.
