The Man and The River by Dot Gray
Curry County Reporter – Rogue Coast May 21, 1997
Flowing waters, whether they come from a natural hot mineral spring, a lovely waterfall, a placid lake or rushing river, have always had a healing effect on humans.
People are drawn to water, turbulent or tranquil. Souls are lifted, sorrows and troubles seem to wash away… and life goes on.
Living a lifetime near flowing waters is a dream most never experience. Creating a paradise alongside a river called the Rogue was what one man set out to do about 75 years ago after first setting eyes on 12 acres of riverbank on the north bank of the Rogue, about 8 miles from its mouth at Gold Beach.
