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.

Bull Lake with Mt. Shasta and Mt. Eddy in background (August 30, 2026)
According to AllTrails, this is an 8-mile, 1,482 feet of elevation gain hike. I clocked in at 8.6 miles and 1,516 feet of elevation gain. Kangaroo Lake is near the beginning of this hike. Driving on paved roads the entire way, you can make it to the trailhead in an hour and forty minutes from Ashland.

Frank Beard of ZZ Top @ Britt (June 2022)
The first time I saw ZZ Top live was in 2021, just a few days after Dusty Hill died. Frank Beard died yesterday, just four days after seeing them for the third time.
ZZ Top @ Britt (June 2022)
ZZ Top played at the Expo last night, with Cheap Trick opening.
Frank Beard, the drummer, is no longer touring with ZZ Top, leaving Billy Gibbons as the only original member these days. The drum kit was the same as it was four years ago, with the exception of the “Señor Beard” being covered over in black tape.

Four years ago, DSO played at Britt on the hottest day of the year. This year, they likely did the same. 102 degrees at showtime. Over 90 degrees after 9 p.m.
