Rare Sight
Calle Guanajuato (Ashland, Oregon – December 25, 2023)
After playing a little Christmas pickle ball in Lithia Park, I was driving through deserted downtown and noticed that Calle Guanajuato looked particularly different. Not only was the lighting nice, there were no people for once. Christmas is probably the only day of the year that you can see Skout and this walkway this empty at 4:30 p.m.
October sunrises are the best

Limpy Creek
Limpy Botanical Interpretive Loop Trail (Grants Pass, Oregon)
A friend and I went on a short hike yesterday near Grants Pass. It wasn’t the best time of year for the location. In a couple of weeks, I imagine the fall colors will be pretty good, but probably the best time to go would be late spring when the greens are at their peak and the water is flowing with more volume. Still, it was a lovely place–especially on a hot day. Yesterday was in the 80s, but near the creek the temps were closer to 70.
The trail was nice and dry, despite recent rain, but it seems to be a very muddy trail in spring.
October in Ashland

We are still a few weeks away from this, but it won’t be long now.

Willow Lake, Oregon (August 2023)
Willow Lake is just an hour from Ashland, not much farther than Lake of the Woods (which I’ve been to dozens of times over the years). And yet, I’d never heard of it until last week. I bounced the name off of a few friends who have also been in Ashland for over 20 years, and they hadn’t hear of it either. Did I just “out” a somewhat secret lake?
Should you find yourself wanting to visit this place, don’t put “Willow Lake” into Google Maps or you may get sent down the wrong road. Instead, use “Willow Lake County Park”.
