This field on East Main Street in Ashland isn’t much to took at this time of year. However, in May and early June the grass grows long so someone cuts a path through it for the kids walking to school at Willow Wind.

Sideshow Project from Grants Pass @ Club 66 in Ashland, Oregon
I went to my first show at the new Club 66 last night. My take is that Club 66 is the best venue for live music in Southern Oregon, period. The sound, lighting, and stage are all superior to other live houses in Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass. If you ever went to Stillwater and found it to be too dark and/or too difficult to get near or see the stage, you’ll want to see the improvements that have been made to the Club 66 version of the place.
As you can tell, the members of Sideshow Project rotated instruments and vocal duties like they were playing musical chairs.
With no alcohol (yet) at Club 66, the place is very kid friendly
Northern California Mountains from Mount Ashland
This past weekend we headed up Mt. A to do a little snowshoeing. The sky was ridiculously blue, and the temperatures were in the 50s (even though down below in Ashland the temps were barely 40 degrees). We had ourselves a weather inversion (which has since departed).

Mount McLoughlin from Peabody’s Wayback
I went on my third snowshoeing adventure yesterday. I parked at Buck Prairie, snowshoed Peabody’s Wayback, and the location above is at or near Peabody’s Lookout. I never saw a sign that said Peabody’s Lookout so I may not have actually made it there. The trail ran out at this point so I headed straight down the mountain and ended up between the restroom and Natasha’s View on the map so I figure I was close to Peabody’s Lookout.
In the distance in today’s panorama photo you can see a portion of snowed over Howard Prairie Lake and beyond that Mt. McLoughlin on the left and Brown Mountain on the right. Next time I’ll have to bring my 70-300mm lens instead of my 14-24mm lens for a much more close up view of these beauties.
Club 66 – Ashland, Oregon – Philly Steak Sandwich with Pesto Salad
I enjoyed another great lunch at Club 66 on Ashland Street (old Good Times, Lumpy’s, Stillwater, Cebolla location) today. Above is my Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich along with a Pesto Salad on the side.
Tonight some reggae bands are playing (Sweetgrass, Frankie Hernandez, and Ras Cricket and The Cultivators). Saturday night is more reggae music (I think):
The Illies, Harlee Case
If reggae isn’t your thing (it isn’t mine), stop in before 8 for some food. Below is my lunch from the other day. Notice the steam coming off of those meatballs.
