180 degree panorama of Buck Prairie Nordic Trail in the snow

I headed up Dead Indian Memorial Road to Buck Prairie yesterday. The clouds were thick, but for a few minutes on the trail, there was a bit of blue when I took today’s photo. This panorama is actually 9 vertical pictures stitched together into a horizontal landscape. I was trying out my new snowshoes, but most people out yesterday were on cross country skis as you can see from the tracks in the snow.

Club 66 – Ashland, Oregon

In the former home of Lumpy’s, Stillwater, and the very short-lived Cebolla emerges Club 66. They can’t serve alcohol yet, but Club 66 began serving food on New Year’s Day. I loved Stillwater and hope Club 66 is even better. The address is 1951 Ashland Street (aka 1951 Highway 66). Expect the music scene here to slowly build over the coming months.

We drove up to the White Rabbit trailhead parking lot a couple days ago to hike to the end of the Lamb Mine Cave off of Ashland Loop Road. There was lots of snow and I was wishing I had brought along my snow shoes that I received for Christmas. The sun came out at times and, with it, large quantities of snow fell from the trees making a lovely, winter landscape.
