Rick,

Yes they still have houseboats for rent on the lake. The past two years have been bad because of the low water and they had to restrict so many of the places that boats could go. This year the water is up, but with the economy the way it is, I don't know if they will do much better. The Redwood Trees are unbelievable as are the Giant Sequoias.
And Oregon University was still coming down each year and having their week long orgy, but they have had so many drown and get killed by stupid stuff on water skis and those ski mobiles that they have really cracked down on them. Last year the bunch that came down was just a minor amount compared to what they normally are. But if the water gets anywhere near normal and they can afford it I am sure they will be back this Summer.
I would like to ride in a P-51 too. They did a show on them in Florida some time back on the History channel and showed some of the old war footage from when they were dog fighting. Also had a few of the surviving pilots who flew them on the show for interviews and that was quite an airplane.

Ron
