Return to K-town

I couldn't believe it has been so long, but when I went back to Klamath Falls for my 10 year high school reunion, I realized that it had been about 9 years since my last trip to Klamath. And as I traveled the narrow, two-lane highway of 97 passing Chiloquin, I remembered why it has been so long: Klamath is out in the middle of nowhere! But despite the two 3 and a half hour flights and a 5 hour car ride in a rental, the trip was well worth the time and effort.
At this point, some of you might be asking, "But I thought you graduated from Woodinville High, not Henley?" That's true, but I spent most of middle school and all but my senior year in Klamath, so for me, that was the more worthwhile reunion.
Here are some pics of the trip:

Me in front of Henley High, home of the Hornets and former school of almost-track star Dan O'Brian.




The view from our old house. If we had a better camera, you would be able to see Mt Shasta in the background.


Before the official reunion, I had the chance to see a few old friends. First, I stopped by the Becerra's new beautiful home at the Running Y and visited with Kara and got to meet her two adorable kids.


We had a great time with Brother and Sister Becerra, too.


Next, I got to chat it up with Angie (Todd) and Stan Miller and meet her family. I even got to play a new version of chess with their son, Blake. I called it Destrusto-Chess.


I was also very grateful for the chance to stop by and talk to Travis before he had to run off to work.


Then at the actual reunion, I had the chance to catch up with a number of old friends. Here I am with Matt McDonald.


I like this picture of Ang and us.


And here we are with Nikki (Jaeger), Jessie (Horsely), and their husbands.
