Now that school is back in session, and the tourists have gone home, this is a great time to enjoy the last hot days of Oregon's consistently toasty Indian Summers.

To get a personal taste of this new mode of transportation, the good folks at Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe sent two Oregon Road Trippers on a trip along the Deschutes River, in the Old Mill District of Bend, Oregon.
