Yesterday we attended two parties on two different ends of the Rogue Valley in Oregon. The views from both were spectacular and very different from each other.<\/p>\n

\"rogue<\/a><\/p>\n

The first party we went to was on the Rogue River in, or near, Shady Cove. Our friends were being unlawfully wedded on the banks of the river. It wasn’t really a wedding as they aren’t legally husband and wife, but they wanted to throw a party so that was the excuse. Between the two of them they had been married 6 times before they exchanged their “illegal” vows that won’t be recognized by the government.<\/p>\n

The unwedding was nicely catered. The temperature was perfect, and by the time things started the previously overcast skies gave way to some really pretty cloud formations amidst the blue skies.<\/p>\n

\"rogue<\/a><\/p>\n

The property this took place on had some large trees on a football field sized grassy area between the house and the river. Whichever way you looked was beautiful.<\/p>\n

After watching the wedding that wasn’t a wedding and eating our fair share, we headed back to Ashland for my end-of-the-school-year party. Graduation isn’t until the 14th, and finals are this coming week, but we, the faculty,\u00a0tend to have this party the weekend before.<\/p>\n

\"sikiyou<\/a><\/p>\n

Just about every home in Ashland has a view of some sort. They are all different. This one is from the lower edges of the Cascade Mountain Range looking back towards the Siskiyou Mountains.<\/p>\n

\"pilot<\/a><\/p>\n

We hung out on the deck you can see in the bottom of this picture. The fields below the property had horses, goats, and llamas grazing earlier in the evening.<\/p>\n

The rock sticking up about 15% of the way from the left side of the picture is called Pilot Rock and is located on the California and Oregon border. Last summer we climbed to the top of it. I’ll have to share the views from there on another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
