In my first about week and a half, I have seen some of the beauty that lies in southern Oregon.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

A hike into the lower table rock shows vast landscapes, with beautiful views of the rogue river, farmland, and mountains in the clouds.<\/p>\n

The table rocks are some geologically interesting formations that are left over lava flows that have been eroded away into horseshoe shapes, leaving about a mile on top of flat fertile land that is covered in vernal pools.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Calypso orchid (Calypso bulbosa<\/em>), found on a hillside in the Applegate.<\/p>\n

We saw several around the area in bud, this was the only one in full flower. Absolutely beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A recent wildfire in the Applegate, that is helping to rebirth this forest.<\/p>\n

In this area the western pine beetle, is extremely prevalent. Fires like these help to encourage the bug to attack these fire dead trees rather than healthy ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We passed some serious Morel mushroom hunters, that really take their off road vehicles seriously.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Insect tube, most likely from the western pine beetle.<\/p>\n

This week has been filled with \u00a0training, and adjusting to the work schedule. I have found that the Medford area is quite a hip and trendy place. There is tons for me to do in my off time. I have also begun studying for my Oregon pesticide certification. This promises to be an eventful summer<\/p>\n
