Day 1
Picnic lunch at Humboldt Redwoods State Park (CA):
Skipping rocks at Jedediah Strong Smith State Park (CA):
Day 2
Fabulous dinner of fresh crab, steamed in foil over the campfire at Jesse M. Honeyman State Park (OR):
Reading in the tent:
Day 3
Had our route over the Columbia River temporarily blocked by a truck carrying an enormous turbine blade (the white thing in the middle of the bridge).:
The turbines in action:
Had coffee with one classmate who refused to attend reunion (bad high school experience), then drinks with reunion attendees. Didn't remember to bring camera to either place.
Day 4
Attended a "Chimposium". M & B seem to have learned a lot about chimp behavior:
Reunion dinner at the Moose Lodge. The average age of the serving staff was probably in the eighties (one friend talked with the head cook, who was 96). Dinner was tasty, if a bit old-fashioned (prime rib, baked potato, overcooked green beans, iceberg lettuce salad with choice of ranch, 1000 island, or french dressings). Note the attractive Budweiser lamp in the class photo:
Day 5
Family Day at the park. This was the least organized of the three reunion events. Basically, we were told to go to a large park (117 acres) and somehow find each other. One friend came well prepared with fun things for the kids to do: here's M kayaking with his new friend S:
Day 6
Drove to Seattle, picked up M's best friend from San Diego to tour Boeing factory:
Day 7
Crater Lake
Day 8
Lovely view of Mt. Shasta on the way home
