Such a great break, a short trip to the beautiful Rogue River in Southern Oregon.

You drive straight south, through the Willamette Valley and up over the mountains to the Rogue Valley.

To the charming Weasku Inn.

Built in 1925, this log cabin lodge was a favorite of Clark Gable, which feels exactly right. Most certainly a place that a 1920’s movie star would love to visit. It is secluded and far from any pressures or commitments.

You can stay in the lodge or rent one of their cabins, all with a beautiful view out into the forest. Not a bad deal at all.

And a short walk to the Rogue River. I’ll have to agree with Clark, it’s the perfect getaway.

Mid-October, summer was over and fall was in the air. The grasses were done.

And the trees were starting to change.

But still warm enough for this guy to fish.

And for this guy to try his luck at a little gold panning.

Such a nice break. A few days of nothing but quiet walks, long breakfasts, naps and lots and lots of deep breathing.

Perfect.
