6 days until Halloween
Skeletons drinking Boneyard while they count down the days
Harvest Festival @ Pheasant Fields Farm
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.
Nature’s Ruins
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.
Table Rocks
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.

Mt. McLoughlin from Lake of the Woods (June 2026)
Bull Lake via Pacific Crest Trail
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.
DSO @ Britt a couple of nights ago
Dark Star Orchestra (August 4, 2026)
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.

Foster Freeze
I asked A.I. about this photo, and we had a long, bizarre conversation about it. In the end, I learned nothing about this Foster plot. I did however learn about Ray Foster, buried in Oklahoma, who died at just 50 years old when he had a heart attack while eating potato chips he had just purchased. Ray Street, near the above photo, is what led A.I. to believe the Oklahoma Ray Foster is buried in both places.
Anywho, chatting with A.I. is like speaking with an occasionally brilliant child who has a quick, usually incorrect, but always confident, answer for everything.
