Ashland had a great sky yesterday. The autumn colors are just beginning. No snow on Mt. Ashland yet, and the forecast shows 80s for the next couple weeks so no snow on Mount A in the near future.

Ashland Hills Hotel

@NHGoregon

I spent this past Thursday at Ashland Hills Hotel. The prior time was on September 11, 2001, but that’s another story.

Anyway, I never knew of the tennis court on the property, a court with perhaps the best view of Grizzly Peak in town. I would have a hard time focusing on hitting the ball in such an environment.

Picking season is almost here. Today’s photo comes from Valley View Winery in Jacksonville (Ruch actually in the Applegate) almost a couple weeks ago.

Guanajuato MiM group @ Crater Lake

@SOUAshland @UdeGuanajuato

Last summer I taught in Guanajuato, Mexico for SOU’s MiM program. One MiM student from Ashland traveled to Mexico to take the class. The Mexican students got to thinking that they should do what that Ashland student did and take a MiM class in Ashland. So this summer most of my class from last summer came to Ashland and took a class. On their off day we went to Crater Lake.
