Welcome to Old Town Bandon

We headed over to the Oregon Coast this past weekend for a couple nights. I’ll have some pictures from Bandon over the next little while. I hope you don’t mind the diversion, but the weather was fantastic so I have some pretty decent images.

Eastview Trail – Ashland, Oregon

The guidebooks for hiking or biking Eastview Trail talk about the wonderful views from the trail itself. Actually, there aren’t any views of the east anymore from Eastview Trail as the trees have grown since the trail was created and now the views are all obstructed. It’s still a nice trail though.

Near the trailhead, you do get a bit of a view from the location pictured here. That’s Mount McLoughlin poking up in the distance on the right.

Stormy sunset over Mt. Ashland

When the daytime temperature hits 60 degrees and the forecast is for snow in the evening, you know the sunset is likely to be spectacular. Luckily I was out, waiting for Ellie to finish her flute lesson, when the pre-sunset show began to take place.

The Buddha prepares for a storm

This is the third time I’ve posted a picture of this vineyard Buddha. He is at peace regardless of the weather.

Pho Sur Vietnamese Asian Fusion Restaurant – Phoenix, Oregon

Vietnamese Asian Fusion pho sur phoenix grants pass oregon

A Vietnamese restaurant opened in Phoenix, Oregon a few months back. I just discovered it about 10 days ago and have already gone back. Apparently they originally had a Pho Sur in Grants Pass and this is their second version. I like it, a lot. I had a bowl of noodle soup the first time and green curry with beef (pictured above) for round two. I’m excited for round three.

Not only is the food great, but it is cheap. Most items are just $8, and there is no meals tax since it is out of Ashland.

If you are in the area and want to give it a try, the address is 4150 South Pacific Hwy. It is located behind Jack in the Box, next to Ray’s Market. It’s the only restaurant in Phoenix where you can expect a crowd.

A stroll through the Trinity Alps

Today’s photo is from the archives, July of 2009 to be exact. Without a person or two in this photo you don’t get the sense of just how tall these trees were in Northern California.
