Middle of nowhere
Ever been to Doherty Slide? Not many have. Not the kind of place you want to break down as you can go hours without seeing another car or human.

Devil’s Chain Sunset
View of the sun setting behind part of the Devil’s Chain from Soda Creek Campground (September 2023)
The Devil’s Chain is one of the youngest mountains you will ever encounter. These volcanic, rhyolite lava domes and flows are only 2,000 years old. Nearby, Mount Bachelor is only 6X older. The Blue Mountains in Northeast Oregon, on the other hand, are 50,000X as old!
Happy birthday, Todd La Torre!
The Grants Pass Caveman and Todd La Torre @ 2025 Boatnik
I’ve been to a few concerts in my lifetime. According to setlist.fm, I’ve been to over 900. However, that’s a significant undercount.
The one pictured above included a top-five hilarious moment in my concert history.
During Queensrÿche’s “Take Hold of the Flame” the Grants Pass Caveman ran out on stage to perform the guitar solo on his club. He got soooooo into it — an Oscar-worthy performance. It was the perfect song to go along with a caveman too. I don’t know whose idea this was, but it was insanely brilliant and perfectly executed.
