Made it to Mount Hood yesterday. Today’s photo is from a short hike (about 2 miles) around Trillium Lake. Three more days of hiking to go.

Today’s photo comes from a road trip we took almost eight years ago to the Oregon coast. Today we are embarking on a road trip in the other direction, toward Mt. Hood.

With the twin tower senior wide receivers of Jason Shelley and Jordan Suell, the Raiders should just throw the ball 12 feet into the air on every play this season for best results.

My random, desktop image of the day of a Jolene’s Sweets dessert looks delicious.

The #6-ranked Southern Oregon University volleyball team did what was expected during their first two contests of the 2019 campaign. They will remain in Ashland for four more this coming Friday and Saturday–including two against ranked opponents. Massey Ratings also has the Raiders at #6 and thinks the coaches’ #20 Jamestown (#12 on Massey) will be more of a challenge than #18 Vanguard (#20 on Massey).
