Klammath Falls Road Trip: Aumsville Detour Day 1 8/13/04

Day 1: On Friday the 13th we all left work and converged in Aumsville Or for a send off. Joining us was Steve Grover, who couldn’t make the whole trip because he lost his balls, I mean didn’t have a job. In our minds, that meant he sure as hell could have gone, but what did we know? Also present was Cal Skate emissary and patron of the arts Paul Fujita. Ironically, he couldn’t go because he had a job. Between Paul and Grover, we figured that their excuses cancelled each other out so that they could both go, but they weren’t hearing it. Nate Frank came in tow with Grover, and fun was had by all, especially the visitors from California and the locals. As it sometimes happens in Aumsville, Jeff Taylor came out of the woods like Bigfoot and began to terrorize the skate park with Bigfoot sized shenanigans on the transitions. A big 4x4 Suburban drove by and a bunch of rednecks yelled out “Skate or Die!” They must have been fans of the videogame. At 9:00 pm we hit the road for Klamath Falls and arrived about two in the morning, delusional and hallucinating, at the strip mall of camp sites, KOA. Waiting for us were about 50 of Shawn’s friends, all of who had ridiculous nicknames, and none of them whose names I was able to remember. Oh yeah, and the keg was tapped.
