Kansas @ Bi-Mart Amphitheater

I went to my first concert at the Jackson County Fair in 10 years last month. Speaking of firsts… Kansas was supposed to be my first concert way back in 1982 at the Cow Palace near San Francisco. However, the show was canceled so this was my first time seeing them, almost 43 years later.

Upper Ruffey Lake panorama (California – June 2025)

The hike to this lake is a nice day trip from Ashland. About an hour and a half drive south of Ashland, you’ll want to start at the “Pacific Crest Trail – Etna Summit trailhead”. If 4+ miles isn’t enough for you, there are several longer options including summiting Etna Mountain (the far left peak–mostly hidden by trees in the foreground–in this photo), Smith Lake, and/or Meeks Meadow Lake.
