Southern Oregon pumpkin patch, corn maze, etc.

I think this was the first time I’ve been to a pumpkin patch with my kids since the 1990s. Of course, my kids aren’t so young any more. The vast majority of people there had little kids.

Half a mile or so upstream from River Bridge on the Rogue River (October 3, 2026)

The subject in today’s photo reminded me of castle or church remnants in some remote place. The fall colors in the background didn’t hurt.

Upper and Lower Table Rocks from Kenneth Denman Wildlife Area

Today’s photo comes from a four-mile loop that we did a couple of weeks ago. We were between storms so the sky was gorgeous.

We stumbled upon some World War II-era ammunition storage bunkers and buildings left over from when the site operated as part of Camp White. We had never even heard of Camp White, but this walk sent us down a rabbit hole of discovering what the area was like 80+ years before.
