Oregon

So I landed some work at a Hot Rod shop in Medford. Been bouncing around couches, camping and working since. Can't say that the town swept me off my feet however the surrounding areas surely did. Oregon has amazing beer and I do mean AMAZING!!!!! The riding and outdoors is top notch, even though they're logging it all to hell. I have no real "plan" to speak off other than putting some paper in my pocket. Not to mention exploring and riding as much as I can. If I get enough together by end of summer to head south then that's the ticket. If not I'll just let the roller coaster take it's course and hang on for the ride.

At the end of the day "At least I'm not in Miami" !!!!!

Crater Lake (Deepest lake in the u.s and 7th deepest in the world)

Bluest water I've ever seen! Even more so than 400 miles out in the Atlantic. I know.







View from the hammock...


Mt.Ashland







Smith Rock



Silliness on the Rogue



Copco Rd. just East of Ashland.  This place was pretty amazing. Water, views, climbing, wild life, fire, milky way, peace, solitude, trails in every direction and tranquil nights hanging from a couple of pines. What more could a man ask for?










Sad, killing the very creatures that keep us alive.

Perception

 "I was sitting on the seashore, half listening to a friend arguing violently about something which merely bored me.  Unconsciously to myself, i looked at a film of sand I had picked up on my hand, when I suddenly saw the exquisite beauty of every little grain of it; instead of being dull, i saw that each particle was made up on a perfect geometrical pattern, with sharp angles, from each of which a brilliant shaft of light was reflected, while each tiny crystal shone like a rainbow...The rays crossed and recrossed, making exquisite patterns of such beauty that they left me breathless..... Then, suddenly, my consciousness was lighted up from within and i saw in a vivid way how the whole universe was made up of particles of material which, no matter how dull and lifeless they might seem, were nevertheless filled with this intense and vital beauty. For a second of two the whole world appeared as a blaze of glory. When it died down, it left me with something i have never forgotten and which constantly reminds me of the beauty locked up in every minute speck material around us."

California

So I spent a good 4+ months in California not to mention rode up and down the whole state twice (once through the coast and once through the sierras). Needless to say I have a TON of cali pictures to edit and upload, not to mention plenty to write about. However I figured I'd start throwing up what I have so far and arrange them later.......

Much more to come.......
