My random, desktop image of the day comes from a hike I took just over two years ago. I nearly died that day. Good memories.

My random, desktop image of the day is this one from a little over two years ago.

About two hours from Ashland, and not far from Crater Lake, is the trail to Toketee Falls. The trail to the falls offers views like the above.

On our way back from Crater Lake a couple weeks ago we stopped at the Rogue River Gorge Viewpoint where I took this photo. The parking lot is covered in snow this time of year so if you want to see the gorge you’ll want a good pair of shoes on so you can walk through a bit of snow to get to the paved trail. Park near Beckie’s Cafe.

Crater Lake

Since this photo was taken several feet of snow has fallen.

Throwing it back to last Thursday…

Six inches of snow in my driveway and a downed tree meant I walked into work this morning. Classes are on at SOU, at least the ones that begin at 10 a.m. and later.

Southern Oregon University under a blanket of snow

@SOUAshland @SOUadmissions

Everything is closed today. Classes are cancelled. Of course, that means I was even more anxious to get to work as campus is lovely and quiet.

I just gave a mini tour of campus to a mother and (prospective student) daughter who came all the way from Southern California to see SOU. With no employees (or students) on campus, weirdo faculty members, like me, are the only tour guides left.

Don’t go driving today. I saw two accidents on my walk to campus.
