Five summers ago we rafted the Rogue River from Galice to Agness (and somewhere along the way today’s photo was taken). A year or two before that we did Grants Pass to Galice. This year we did Trail to Grants Pass, with plans to do the last section between Grants Pass and Galice canceled by the Almeda fire.

Ashland Pond (September 10, 2020)

#AlmedaFire #GlendowerFire #OregonFires

One of my favorite places to visit in town is located close to the origin of the horrific Almeda Fire that began on September 8, 2020 and razed over 600 homes, mostly in Phoenix and Talent, Oregon.

I rode my bike down Almeda Drive and Glendower Street today, like many times before, but everything is different. The homes are all still there, and there doesn’t appear to be any damage to the structures, but the fields nearby are a wasteland coated in inches of ash.

Here is a photo of Ashland Pond from less than five months ago.

Rogue River (Oregon)

This past Monday we rafted down a portion of the Rogue River. We used to do this at least once a year, but I think it’s been about five years since the last time. Kids grew up and all of that stuff…
