The view from the other side of the lake looking back to this position, during a different season, can be seen here.

Winter basketball at Lake of the Woods
We spent today at “Snow Capades” which is held at Camp McLoughlin at Lake of the Woods about an hour east of Ashland. I’ll have some more pictures from today’s adventures in the coming weeks.
domestic partnership in Oregon
These bucks are considering their recent purchase of a cute little house with a pink door and blue roof. They aren’t nearly as concerned with the lack of legal same-sex marriage in Oregon since a domestic partnership law is on the books. Instead, they are worried about the lack of head room in their new home.
Final Utah, Nevada, California trip picture
We’ll finally make it back to Ashland in tomorrow’s blog entry. Today’s photograph is the last one I took in California before taking over the driving duties in Mt. Shasta city.
Dead trees, living clouds
This was a lucky shot. Like yesterday’s capture, it’s out my car window on Highway 89 in California between Cayton and McCloud. The clouds were looking good so I took a shot. At 55 MPH you never know what you are going to get in the foreground. I ended up with a nearly perfectly centered tree in the frozen tundra.

Shasta
After spending the night in Susanville, California we headed northwest through the forest. This was our third trip through the Lassen area (twice in winter and once in summer) and the views never cease to amaze me. I’m used to the I-5 view of Mt. Shasta so seeing it from “the back side” is always a thrill.
Once again, the photograph quality isn’t the greatest as it was taken through a dirty window. This time we were probably only going about 55 MPH or so since we were no longer on I-80.
Final Nevada picture
The window is even dirtier in this picture than the last one, but this photograph will be our last from Nevada. Tomorrow we’ll begin winding our way through California, in Lassen Volcanic National Park territory, before finally meeting up with good, old familiar Highway 5.
Nevada Winter Scene
Continuing our trip home from Utah to Oregon, I took the above picture through a rather dirty window somewhere between Winnemucca and Reno, Nevada while going about 75 MPH. If you click on it to view it larger, you may even be able to see a living creature in the lower left corner.
Middle of nowhere, Nevada
As mentioned a couple of weeks ago when the Utah trip tour began on this blog, the salt flats on the way back to Oregon were really pretty. The sun was shining in the southeast and crazy cloud formations with rain and snow were happening in the northwest. We were expecting lots of snow on the road and when we left Utah, Nevada’s traffic and weather site stated that we would be putting chains on in at least 3 locations. Yuck. Therefore, there was no time to stop and take pictures of the salt flat scenes.
However, we lucked out in Nevada and never had to put on chains. The first stop we made was at the above, desolate-looking rest stop near Wells, Nevada. No one was around for miles and miles. It was the first chance I had to take a break from driving and snap a picture.
