Best of Beth Ashley: Among the mountains, memories and blessings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Editor’s note: The IJ is reprinting some of the late Beth Ashley’s columns. This is from 2008. Bruce and I drove north in the Roadmaster, exiting Marin on my favorite vacation route, usually to Lake Tahoe, this time to a weekend birthday party near the Sierra Buttes. My nephew Wes, a celebrated geologist, was turning 70. Every five years he hosts his own party, usually in a place where he has done significant fieldwork. In 2003, he took family, friends and colleagues to Alaska and flew everyone

Editor’s note: The IJ is reprinting some of the late Beth Ashley’s columns. This is from 2006. We spent a lot of time talking about our ailments, which happens when people our age get together. We were three college classmates from a long time ago. We meet every year for a weekend or more, rekindling a friendship that’s more precious each day. We used to be five. One of our number — we met as freshmen in college — died of cancer. Another, who lives in Washington, is too ill to travel, so sometim

Editor’s note: The IJ is reprinting some of the late Beth Ashley’s columns. This is from 2008. A few days after his birthday, and 14 months after he died, we had a Jeff Ashley Memorial Softball Game in Berkeley. It was the best of times but it was also the worst; we spent an afternoon full of joy and tears and vivid memories. Jeff was my son, the second oldest brother of five. He died very suddenly last year in his Concord home, presumably struck by an embolism. We were anguished for months — th

Editor’s note: The IJ is reprinting some of the late Beth Ashley’s columns. This is from 2007. Powell’s Books in Portland is apparently famous nationwide, but the first time I saw it was last week. Portland is full of other tourist attractions, but my nephew-traveling companion Bruce decided Powell’s, of them all, was what we should see. It’s the biggest bookstore I have ever visited — a city block wide and two stories high, packed to the gunwales with books, books on every imaginable topic by e
Best of Beth Ashley: A memorable trip to Iceland (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Editor’s note: The IJ is reprinting some of the late Beth Ashley’s columns. This is from 2008. In fact, despite sporting the largest ice cap outside the polar regions, it’s pretty hot stuff. The island is bubbling with volcanoes and geysers, steam baths and mudholes. It’s one of the most happening places I’ve ever visited. My friend and I drove the circumference of the island, about 1,000 miles, in nine days, encountering an awe-inspiring landscape that went from empty gray lava beds to verdant
