Mount McLoughlin from Hobart Bluff
Mount McLoughlin usually has much more snow on it in early January, but less than a week ago it looked like this. Alas, yesterday’s snow storm likely gave it a thick winter blanket.

Willow Lake is just an hour from Ashland, not much farther than Lake of the Woods (which I’ve been to dozens of times over the years). And yet, I’d never heard of it until last week. I bounced the name off of a few friends who have also been in Ashland for over 20 years, and they hadn’t hear of it either. Did I just “out” a somewhat secret lake?
Should you find yourself wanting to visit this place, don’t put “Willow Lake” into Google Maps or you may get sent down the wrong road. Instead, use “Willow Lake County Park”.
January was the warmest in Southern Oregon history. On this day, we were in t-shirts on top of table rock, and it wasn’t even cold.
The dome in the lower-right is a 4.6 million-gallon water reservoir in Eagle Point.

We hiked up Upper Table Rock last week, but I didn’t bring my camera this time. Then this photo, from 5+ years ago, showed up as my random, desktop image.
Today’s random, desktop image comes from three and a half years ago.
