Revisiting one of my favorite places in Southern Oregon, the Avenue of Giant Boulders.
Looks like this photo was taken in Oregon, right? Actually, I took this pic a couple weeks ago in Japan (Nikko to be exact–湯ノ湖 is the name of the lake, and I got up for an early morning bike ride at 5 a.m. to get this view). A couple more weeks and I’ll be back taking fresh photos of Ashland. Until then you can see some of my recent Japanese adventures here.
I was cleaning off my laptop’s harddrive before selling it and found the above picture. I took this of Ellie and Ryan in the Nevada desert on our way to Utah in July of 2006. If I took this picture with my new camera with GPS I could tell you the exact location. We were on Highway 140/291 near the Oregon/Idaho/Nevada border. I don’t think there was another person around for 50 miles in any direction, maybe 100.
My favorite part of the aforementioned hike wasn’t the lake at the end (although it was beautiful). No, the best part, for me, was this meadow. My daughter, on the far left, agreed. She says she is going to get married in this meadow. I’ll show you some more pictures of it in later entries.
