This is a shot from last weekend’s backpacking trip to Burnt Lake in the Mt. Hood National Forest. We arrived the prior afternoon to a lake socked in by clouds and fog. We woke up to this. Click on pic for larger image.

Picture of the Week: Morse Code from the Heavens at Surftides, Lincoln City
17 09 2012Surftides has become kind of my home away from home when I visit the Lincoln City area of the Oregon Coast. I love the place. This view from the balcony of my room a couple of mornings ago is just one reason why. Click on the photo for a larger view.

Picture of the Week: A Tale of Two Trails
10 09 2012This is another shot from the “Hopilicious Hiking Trip” I took last week with Rogue Wilderness Adventures. We would hike along the Rogue River Trail during day, then sample beer in the evening. On this trip we had the brewmaster from Ninkasi, Mark, along for the entire excursion. In this photo you see one of my fellow hikers on the trail, and one of the rafts from the “Paddles and Pints” trip on the river just below. Paddles and Pints is the whitewater rafting version of the hiking trip, also run by Rogue Wilderness Adventures. Click on image for larger view.

Picture of the Week: The Rogue River Trail
5 09 2012The Picture of the Week is delayed a bit again this week due to a return trip to the Rogue River. I was a guest again of Rogue Wilderness Adventures, only this time for their Hopilicious Hiking trip. Hiking, beer tasting, rafting, and views like this for 4 glorious days and 3 nights. I would like to again thank all of the folks at Rogue Wilderness Adventures for throwing more awesome my way than one person can really be expected to handle. You are top shelf folks, top shelf!

Red Tricycle: A Hidden Waterfall Oasis
25 07 2012My latest article for Red Tricycle is about the Oneonta Gorge. It has perhaps one of the most photogenic waterfalls in the Gorge and it is definitely my daughter’s favorite place to swim. Click here to give it a read.

Picture of the Week: Rafting the Wild and Scenic Rogue River
23 07 2012The Rogue River in southern Oregon is one of the original 8 to be included in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. Last week I spent 4 days and 3 nights rafting and kayaking it as part of assignment for Northwest Travel Magazine. The trip, courtesy of Rogue Wilderness Adventures, was almost indescribably beautiful and inspiring. Which is bad news if you’re a travel writer. This picture is a particularly scenic spot called Mule Creek Canyon. You can click on the photo for a larger view.
