Halloween, Granite Street
Photo taken October 2004
Granite Street in Ashland is famous for its catering to trick or treaters. Many houses get very decked out. One in particular (shown in tomorrow’s entry) turns into a haunted mansion. Children are invited in for a tour by the witch on the porch. Only some come back out. Expect to hear some screams.
Sporthaven Beach
Although not quite as pretty or secluded as Harris Beach, which we found on Sunday, Sporthaven Beach, just south of the harbor in Brookings was still very nice on Saturday.
Chetco River – different focus
Today’s picture is the exact same as yesterday’s. I took both from the same location within 10 seconds of each other. The difference is that in yesterday’s I focused on the trees and in today’s I focused on the sky.
Chetco River
On a map, Ashland doesn’t look far from the Oregon coast. Birds can probably make the trip in fairly short order. Unfortunately for those species forced to take cars, there are two mountain ranges in the way so it takes a couple of hours on a roundabout course which first takes you quite north of your destination (Grants Pass) and then quite south of your destination into California. The drive is beautiful though–especially this time of year. For part of the drive you are along the Smith River with incredible views of the fall colors lining the banks. Unfortunately, we didn’t stop to take pictures this time.
Once we got to Brookings, Oregon we headed up the Chetco River for a cabin in Alfred A. Loeb State Park. A 30-second walk from the cabin afforded the above view.
The little ripple in the water is from a fish hitting the surface to get a bug. It was dinnertime for the many fish in this little part of the Chetco River.
