Help with Birthday Gift.....

My son turns 21 next month and I was thinking about getting him a gift certificate for one of those Rogue River mail boat trips. Has anyone ever been on one? It looks like there are 2 outfits that operate down there, anyone know if one is better than the other? I'm open to suggestions for something on the same idea.

Thanks,

I haven't been on either one but worked in the same river with them around. They both seem fine as far as I can tell. Hopefully somebody can answer your question better.

Probably a toss-up! They both go the same places

I havent done it...but have always wanted to. I think that's a great gift idea, and I bet they are both the same experience!

Thanks for the replies. Now I just have to decide which one to go with.

Love2fish,
Hey my wife and I took a trip with the mail boats last year and it was AWESOME!! I do recommend taking the longest one possible I do believe it is 104 miles. It is as far up the river as a power boat can go. 52 miles each way. Again we went with the mailboats and it was great. Hope this helps. Tim
