Rogue Wild & Scenic River

#mynwrcphoto @NWRafting

Today’s photo comes from July of 2015, which was also the last time I was in the USA in July (until this year). That year included a trip down the Wild & Scenic portion of the Rogue River, a wonderful July 4 celebration, and lots of Britt shows. There was also a bunch of smoke in the Rogue Valley that year.

This year there will be no trips down the Rogue, July 4 festivities, or Britt. Hopefully there won’t be any smoke as minor compensation.

P.S. Note that the fall schedule has now been cancelled, and football will hopefully happen in spring.

South Fork Lakes Trail (Trinity Alps, California)

We made another expedition into the Trinity Alps yesterday. These hikes are a bit over an hour an half south of Ashland. We’ve done at least a half dozen of them by now. AllTrails clocks this one in a 4.1 miles round trip which is an underestimate. Our various apps came in at somewhere between 5 and 7 miles. Factor in the elevation changes, my bad back, and my old age, and I’m giving this one a solid 15 miles. 😉

Seriously, though, the Upper South Fork Lake is gorgeous and well worth the effort.
