Contest Results

Our SCRT e-newsletter friends were asked to answer the question; What is the origin of the river named, "Deschutes".   Our judges decided in fact there were two correct answers. 1.  Lava Lake, the headwaters of the Deschutes.  2. The name origin of the name Deschutes which was derived from the French words; Des Chutes or many falls.   Correct answers were put into a hat and drawn for an All Day Raft Trip for Two.  Congratulation to Shaunette Bozarth!!
