South Brown Mountain Shelter (January 2017)

Mt. Ashland still doesn’t have enough snow to open. My snowshoes have sat in the garage this winter, just like they did this past summer. Maybe the storms later this week will produce something?

Large sections of the PCT, in Oregon anyway, are very walkable this time of year even though last year they were under many feet of snow.

For our Christmas walk this year we went to Jacksonville and pretty much walked in the dark. Last year, when I took this photo, we were up on Mt. Ashland under blue skies and had an extraordinary sunset.

Muir Creek (Southern Oregon)

As opposed to winter, where things look a little different.

Saturday’s loss was painful, but there is a silver lining. Due to the NAIA’s odd ranking system, which rewards prior season record more than current season wins against strong opponents, SOU will likely begin 2018 with a #3 or #4 ranking. In 2017 it took an undefeated season in the toughest conference just to get to #5. Had the Raiders started 2017 at #3 or #4 they would have probably ended up at #2 and received home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Another shot today from the hike we did a month ago on Marys Peak when we headed north for the eclipse. I don’t think I’ve ever hiked through old growth Noble Firs before. The carpet of clover made it extra special.
