Today’s photo is a reverse angle of this one on the PCT.

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.

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.

Spring break is looking like a rainy break from sun. Today’s photo is from a couple weekends ago.

I enjoyed a lovely morning up on Buck Prairie yesterday. Snow had fallen overnight, the sun had come out, and the surface in the sunny areas seemed like it was covered in tiny diamonds. I was the first in snowshoes for the day. I was about the fourth car there. When I left, before noon, the parking lot off Dead Indian Memorial Road was packed.
