Breeze Into Late Summer At Oregon's Riverfront Tu Tu' Tun Lodge
A glass cabin at Tu Tu' Tun Lodge surrounded by foliage. Elliott Hawkey When you land in Medford, Oregon, the airport three hours away from the waterfront retreat Tu Tu' Tun Lodge, the temperature is approaching 90. But as you progress southwest along Route 199, aka Redwood Highway, past forests of those titanic trees, caves and country stores, the temperature starts to drop. By the time you get to the lodge, eight miles from the coast, it's a stretch to reach 70. You're also in a leafy refuge on the Rogue River, a perfect place to beat the late summer heat. The view of the Rogue River. Elliot Hawkey The lodge, originally opened in 1970 and named after the Indigenous inhabitants of the property, the Tututni Native Americans who referred to their home encampment as 'Tu Tu' Tun' or 'people of the place by the water.' Subsequent generations of the same family have operated it, maintaining a homey, intimate feeling. But last year, there was a major change: a renovation of the entire property including the addition of glass cabins with 360 views from the interior; a new chef Derek Piva, a veteran of STARR Restaurants and New York's The Musket Room and the addition of a new spa, named Hive + Honey, for one of its essential ingredients. The interior of a glass cabin. Elizabeth Barclay The 12 glass cabins, designed in partnership with the mirror house production company ÖÖD founded by two brothers in Estonia, are clearly unique with contemporary interiors and wraparound views of the river, mountain peaks or the night sky reflected by mirrored walls. Designed to accommodate two people, the cabins, even with glass walls, are private because of their placement away from each other, situated for specific views: Mountain View Glass Cabins, Creekside Glass Cabins and River Front Cabins. Each cabin also has a private patio with a personal fire pit and outdoor soaking tub. The terrace of the main lodge. Elixabeth Barclay The other rooms in the 40 room property, redecorated in clean, rustic style, are located in the Main and Guest lodges and for larger groups and families, in four guest houses, two recently added, with two or three bedrooms. All have unobstructed views of the river. Rafting down the Rogue River. getty The Great Outdoors is clearly the main point here so activities facilitated by the lodge reflect that. Guests zoom down the river on a jet boat from Jerry's Rogue Jets or take to the river in a gentler fashion, kayaking in calm currents, possibly to visit Sheila the harbor seal who generally spends her time on a rock just east of the lodge. Flyfishermen and women troll for steelhead and salmon; hikers explore coastal trails, seeing swaths of the Pacific Ocean from the cliffs and depending on the season, whales. Golfers have a choice of several world class courses including the famous Bandon Dunes Golf Resort an hour north and its waterfront views. Back on property, guests rest up from their excursions by checking into the Hive + Honey Spa for massages with movements inspired by the currents of the river, rituals with warmed basalt stones, forest wraps, honey facials or a stint in the wood burning sauna. Earthy Dining Bone In Pork Loin with Cannellini, Chorizo and Cippolini onions. Tu Tu' Tun Lodge Meals are also influenced by the outdoors in a style described as wilderness to table. Chef Piva works with local ranchers and farmers and utilizes produce and herbs from the property's garden to produce earthy, flavorful dishes such as Raddichio and Citrus Salad with stracciatella, mint, honey and dukkha, Seared Salmon with Green Curry and Thai Herbs, Bone In Pork Loin with Cannellini, Chorizo and Cippolini onions, Tagliatelle al Limone and 40 day aged 20 ounce Delmonico Steak. After active days, guests are pretty hungry. Nighttime on the lodge grounds. Elliot Hawkey After dinner, on weekends, the prime activity is to take a chair by the river, grab a glass of wine or a cup of tea (and a cookie) and look up at the stars in this dark sky region, comparing impressions with other guests. But it's even chillier. Bring a sweater.

Ballard – Season 1 Episode 2 'Haystacks' Recap & Review
Haystacks Episode 2 of Ballard Season 1 starts with Ballard arriving at the lodge crime scene. She introduces herself to Detective Neylon, the man in charge. Neylon is unhappy that she is on his turf, but tries to be accommodating. He allows her to check the crime scene and promises to call her once he gets the ballistic report. Before leaving, Ballard talks to the manager and checks out the CCTV footage. Unfortunately, the murder was not caught on camera, but a suspicious man catches her attention. She quickly takes a picture before leaving. Outside, Zamira waits, and Ballard tells her that they will secretly work the case. She calls Laffont and sends him the victim's details. Laffont asks her to call Bosch, but she refuses. Neylon believes Yulia was killed in a robbery gone wrong, but Zamira and Ballard think otherwise. They follow one of Yulia's co-workers to a local salon. The woman refuses to talk since she is undocumented. Ballard allows her to leave and talks to the salon manager. The manager tells them more about Yulia, but nothing substantial enough to be a lead. Luckily, she recognises the unhoused man in the picture but doesn't know his name. They head back to the office and debrief the team. Ted is frustrated to be sent on the hunting mission. Meanwhile, Ballard and Zamira start creating the case board and going through all the evidence. Ballard leaves to talk to Laura's mom but runs into Pearlman. He is mad that Ballard is looking into Yulia's and Laura's cases. Ballard tells him about the connection between Sara and Laura. She also reminds him that all cases are important. As they talk about the cases, it dawns on Pearlman that Brian might not have killed his sister. Brian was doing a military tour. Ballard promises to get Pearlman answers and calls Laffont to check out Brian's alibi during Laura's murder. Laffont suggests they bring Bosch in, but Ballard refuses. The visit with Laura's mom doesn't go as smoothly as Ballard hoped. As she leaves Laura's mom's house, someone starts tailing her. Unfortunately, Ballard doesn't realise she is being followed. She heads to her therapy session where we learn that someone tried to rape her. Her therapist worries that Ballard is too hurt by the betrayal of her fellow officers. Ballard switches the topic back to the shooting. On her way out, she runs into Olivas and two other male officers. One of the officers makes a crude sexual joke, pissing Ballard off. Back at the office, Colleen finds the last advert that Laura worked on. Martina finds a possible connection between Laura and Sara. Sara was in the drama club, and the killer might have met them through acting classes. Laffont gets an update on Brian's alibi, forcing them to drop him as a possible suspect. It also turns out that Leyton never submitted the bullet that killed Yulia to ballistics. Ballard sends Laffont to do it, and Colleen offers to join him. On the other hand, Ballard visits Brian and apologises to him. Brian is relieved to hear he is cleared, but sends her away. In the meantime, Zamira joins Ted in searching for the unhoused man. After a while, their search leads them to a guy named Frosty. Ballard joins Zamira and Ted to make an arrest, but Frosty tries to make a run for it. He ends up breaking his leg. Given that Frosty is hurt and too high, they call it a day and drop him at the hospital first. After a long day, Ballard calls Aaron after getting hurt during the arrest. Aaron drops by her house and says she only calls him on the bad days. They end up sleeping together, and Aaron accidentally flashes Tutu the following morning. On the other side of town, Ballard meets with the captain after Neylon reports her for working her case. The captain sides with Ballard and asks her to take over the case since she arrested Frosty. However, the captain asks her to close the case perfectly or lose the case. Before heading to the office, Ballard drops by Ballistics. She begs Freddie to run the ballistics on her John Doe case and prioritise the Yulia case. She later meets with Zamira at the hospital to interrogate Frosty. Unfortunately for them, Frosty suffers from mental issues. Even when sober, he can barely make a coherent sentence. Zamira and Ballard believe that someone intentionally paid Frosty to kill Yulia because he was too lost already. When asked about the gun, Frosty claims he buried it, and it turned into roses. With no clear answers, Ballard and Zamira leave. At the office, Colleen is still traumatised by her first visit to the morgue. Laffont comforts her, and they get back to the case. Ballard sends Zamira and Ted to try to find the gun Frosty disposed of. Bosch makes an impromptu visit and asks to talk to Ballard in private. He is unhappy she didn't reach out, but doesn't take it personally. He invites her for lunch and tries to encourage her to find the silver lining in her current situation. Bosch also mentions that he found the alibis of two witnesses problematic in the Laura case. Back on the street, Zamira and Ted find Frosty's gun near a rose mural. Zamira calls Ballard, and they rush the gun to Freddie. Unfortunately, the gun can only be linked to Yulia's case. As for the John Doe case, Freddie says the bullet was never presented and thus never analysed. Zamira is sure she called in to request the bullet analysis. She couldn't follow up as she left the force, but now, she is certain someone in LAPD wants this case to go unsolved. The scene then cuts to Ballard's stalker calling someone. He assures the other party that the case is closed and Frosty will be taking the fall. The other party gives him new instructions. The episode ends with the stalker arriving at work, and we learn that he is a police officer. The Episode Review Ballard feels betrayed by her former colleagues, and she is intent on proving her case. It seems like Zamira also has an issue with Olivas, but she is hiding the truth. Ballard is facing a lot of issues in this case. As soon as she gets a lead, it turns out to be nothing. They thought Brian was their guy, but he was innocent. Frosty gave them nothing. There is always someone a step ahead of Ballard, and based on the closing scene, we know he is either in the force or has some officers on his payroll. It doesn't help that Ted's attitude continues to affect the morale of the team. He is always complaining and telling on Ballard. He might want to focus on doing his job to help Ballard close the cases quicker!
