SPIRIT OREGOS

Spirit Oregos liked people so she decided to be a huge rock at the mouth of the Klamath River.  Her job each year was to tell the fish when they should leave the ocean and head upriver.

And so, each year, Oregos guides the smelt and candlefish, upriver where the Yurok people net them.  They are so oil-rich that they can be burnt as a candle for light.


Then in the spring she sends up the cut-throat trout, in May the giant sturgeon, and in July she calls in Salmon, the delicious king salmon.  August is the steelhead run, followed by silver salmon.  Oregos, what a spiritual helper. 

The Klamath river is the second largest river in California...263 miles long, draining a watershed of 8,000 square miles from it source in Upper Klamath Lake in South Central Oregon. 


Ron and I followed a road one day to see where it would go and this is what we came across.  It is beautiful and so I wanted to share this with you and some pictures of what it is like.  Never miss the chance to go exploring because you could miss so many wonders of beauty.

ME LOVING THIS RETIREMENT

 

 

This was a wonderful journey we took driving down a back road.  Don't pass them up, cause you can find many treasures down the out of way roads.

 

 

Wish you were here...
