You’ve heard of the Siskiyous, but did you know there is an actual Siskiyou Peak? I didn’t, until I was standing on it a bit over a week ago.

Tsukubai in Ashland’s Japanese Gardens
I mentioned before about how Ashland’s Japanese Garden in Lithia Park reminds me of Ryoanji in Kyoto, Japan. I didn’t notice this tsukubai (stone washbasin) in my earlier visits, but I did this past November as I thought I saw a similar one in Ryoanji. After searching through some old photos, I found my picture of the Ryoanji tsukubai and sure enough, this one in Ashland is an exact replica of the 17th century stone in Kyoto.
The characters combine with the square in the middle to spell out 吾唯足知 Ware tada taru wo shiru (I only know contentment).
Rare Sight
Calle Guanajuato (Ashland, Oregon – December 25, 2023)
After playing a little Christmas pickle ball in Lithia Park, I was driving through deserted downtown and noticed that Calle Guanajuato looked particularly different. Not only was the lighting nice, there were no people for once. Christmas is probably the only day of the year that you can see Skout and this walkway this empty at 4:30 p.m.
