Continuing the series I began a couple weeks ago, here are some downtown businesses long before they opened for the day.
Another photo of The Black Sheep can be found here.

Last week we went to Britt Gardens (“The Britt”) to see Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion Summer Love Tour.” I had never heard of Garrison Keillor before. It was an interesting evening, but I was at least 25 years too young to fully enjoy it all (thank goodness!). This was my first Britt show in maybe three years. Last time I was front and center for Chicago which was lots of fun.
Anyway, Jacksonville is a beautiful town, perhaps the best preserved of its era in the USA (or at least the western states). I’ll have to post more from Jacksonville in the future. Jacksonville is less than 20 miles from Ashland. Pictured above is what (I’m guessing based on the writing on the brick wall) is the old Levi Strauss Building.

Duffy plants a kiss on Ellie. Maybe the cause was the pool’s change this year from chlorine to saline.

Here is one last image of Crater Lake for a while. I think I took this at or near Merriam Point on the west side of the Rim Drive.

Rim Drive around Crater Lake offers many majestic views. Although the road is paved, it isn’t an easy ride. There can be lots of cars (avoid weekends and holidays), and there isn’t a flat section to be found. As a rider you’ll do lots of climbing.
Today’s photo of Ryan is of one of those brief downhill moments.
