Appalachian Trail record setter has world at her feet
After walking 12,000 miles on six continents, Jennifer Pharr Davis has her heart with Brew, her husband of six years, and their toddler daughter. During her talk at the Ashland Library Wednesday, though, it was clear that part of her longed to be back on the trail. In 2011, Jennifer hiked the 2,181-mile Appalachian Trail…

Shall we go for a walk?
Reg and I have asked this question of each other many times since we first met. Over the years we've walked miles and miles together. The arrival of our three boys didn't slow us down. We once bribed them, one chocolate M & M at a time, encouraging their little preschool legs to complete the…

Now that our home renovation project is complete, we took advantage of this beautiful fall morning to wander downtown…now only a ten minute walk! The local paper promised a lot of activity, and we wanted to enjoy the last bit of sunshine before the forecasted rain arrives. In true Ashland style, the day provided something…

Home Sweet Home
Since we last visited Ashland, Oregon we have traveled thousands of miles…and now find ourselves back in the town we fell in love with just three short months ago. Has it really been just three months? The last leg of this journey ended this morning when we unpacked our…

23 beds in 35 days
After sleeping in 23 beds in 35 days, we are ready to go home. There is just one problem: We sold our home and the bed with it. We will have to make do, for now, with a rented condo in Ashland, Oregon. It will be home for the next three months and we are…

Ashland, Oregon: Parting Shots
We couldn't resist sharing one last look at the Ashland we discovered during our two-week stay. We arrived to several days of rain, but once the sun came out we watched spring blossom as the trees flowered and leafed out. We discovered a vibrant downtown with great restaurants, coffee houses and boutiques. There were several…
