Rogue River Valley, Oregon - Southern Oregon is divided into three main river basins; the Umpqua River, the Rogue River, and the Klamath Basin. The Umpqua meets the Pacific at Reedsport, the Rogue mouth is near Gold Beach, and the Klamath empties at the Redwoods National Park in Northern California. All three rivers have their headwaters in the Cascade Mountains on the slopes of Crater Lake, Oregon's only national park. The Rogue River is a designated National Scenic River, and formed much of the backdrop for the Meryl Streep movie "The River Wild." Jet boat trips and white water rafting are very popular.

Reindeer - Articles

According to:
Alaska Department of Fish and Game:

While both male and female Reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male Reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female Reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting Santa's Reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen.........had to be a girl.

We should've known.

Only women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night, and not get lost.
