@ButteCreekMill

Back in 2011 I posted some photos of our visit to Butte Creek Mill. A few days ago, an early morning fire wiped out the place. Today I’m posting a few more images (two of the interior and one of the exterior) from 2011. The fire photo is from the internet.

The first mill was constructed here in 1872. Some things from the original mill still survived until Christmas of 2015. Additions and changes to the building took place between 1912 and the 1930s. The mill had been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. It’s all gone now. The current plan is to rebuild.

Vineyards with Mt. Ashland in the background

You wouldn’t know it from all of the vineyards that have sprung up in California and Oregon over the past decade, but we are supposedly in the middle of a wine shortage that will only become worse in the future.

Today’s photo is from June of 2011.

This year’s parade will be on Halloween beginning at 3:30. Last year I had a class to teach at that time so I missed it, but I will try to be there this year. Today’s photo is from the 2011 parade.

Early April in Ashland

I have been posting a lot of people pics recently. Today I plucked one from the archives without any humans visible in it. Wrong season, I know, but it’s fun sometimes to see what things will again look like in six months.
