Emigrant Lake from the campground - Ashland, OR


Emigrant Lake from the campground
This is where I�m camped a few miles outside of Ashland, OR. This is quite a lovely town, though perhaps a little too self-consciously so for my taste - and besides, they don�t allow dogs in their city park. Jacob says, �Hiss, boo!� So do I.

Nevertheless, I had a good time yesterday exploring galleries and clothing boutiques, too many of which were too much to my taste – and too expensive for my pocketbook. It was fun, though, and I did buy myself a patchwork vest that I’m quite pleased with.

There are four new entries below, catching up.

I'm back!

I’m currently in Ashland, OR, parked outside the Suds ‘N Duds laundromat. Laundromats seem to be catching on to Wifi as a selling point – at least here in the States.

I’m sorry to have been so remiss in posting here. Connections were hard to find in Canada, and a good part of my time there I was moving around a lot so I didn’t take the time to locate possible Wifi Hotspots. My Verizon phone connections there were almost always Roaming, so even if my data cable hadn’t broken, I wouldn’t have wanted to use it to connect to the internet.

Anyway, I’m back, and will try to keep in touch fairly frequently. I’ve edited the entries below so that they show dates that approximate when I was actually there, even though I really sent them to the blog today. As you remember, you read the dates “uphill.” The last entry that most of you have read was Revelstoke on August 21; there’s a second Revelstoke entry that I’ve added today. It turns out that you'll have to go into the August and September archives for some of these posts.

I’m now caught up to about mid-October; I’ll try to do the rest in the next few days.
