The Avenue of Giant Boulders
It is difficult to choose just one photograph to share. I’ll post one now, and one next time, but expect to see many more in the future. This place is heaven on earth.

Barr Falls
The overlook location for Barr Falls is really nice. I could sit here for hours. The wide angle on my LX3 provides a nice overview of the scene. I’ll show you a close up in a later entry. Next we’ll turn to my pick for the best thing to see in the Prospect area–Avenue of the Giant Boulders. For directions see my prior entry.
Mill Creek Falls
Many people that go to Mill Creek Falls miss out on the other wonders in the area. The directions to the waterfall are well marked on Highway 62 and easy to get to from Medford or Crater Lake. My book said to get off at mile post 38. Mile post 38 is actually a few feet beyond the turnoff if you are coming from the Medford area. So either turn before mile post 38 onto Mill Creek Road or wait and get off at the junction (marked with a large sign that says “Mill Creek Falls ==>”) at about mile post 42. If you are going further down the road after your visit (like to Union Creek, the Rogue River Gorge, or Crater Lake) you can turn right out of the parking lot rather than backtrack.
Back to my first statement about what not to miss. After viewing Mill Creek Falls continue to walk another five minutes (to the right if you are viewing this scene). There you will find the even more spectacular Barr Creek Falls (photograph in my next blog entry). But the best place of all in this neck of the woods is “Avenue of Giant Boulders.” The “Avenue of Giant Boulders” is one of my favorite places on the planet.
On top of Pilot Rock
This location is on the California/Oregon border. I’m on top of Pilot Rock. In the far distance on the left is Mt. Shasta. To the right, and out of view in this picture, is Mt. Ashland.
Ashland from the air
I took today’s picture of Ashland from the airplane soon after takeoff from the Medford airport. The plane was headed to San Francisco, and by the end of the day we were in Japan. The lake in the upper right portion of the photo is Emigrant Lake.
For more photographs from this flight see this entry.
Oregon creek
This creek is a tributary to the Rogue River near Galice, Oregon (northwest of Ashland).
Out ‘n’ About Treehouses (part 7 of 7)
Let’s wrap out this series on the tree houses near Cave Junction, Oregon with a photograph of one of the finest tree houses on the property.
Another view from the swimming pool (part 6 of 7)
Here is a different angle from the swimming pool at Out ‘n’ About Treehouses.
You can’t see them too well from this distance, but the field in the center of this picture is loaded with giant sunflowers.
Downtown Ashland before the dawn
Continuing the series I began a couple weeks ago, here are some downtown businesses long before they opened for the day.
Another photo of The Black Sheep can be found here.

Horse back riding (part 5 of 7)
There are lots of activities besides swimming when you stay at the treehouses. We went for horse back rides.
