Warning! This 2005 post is from our static HTML era when updates were infrequent, and a pain in the ass.  It has been ported over for the sake of… what? I’m not sure. Nostalgia? Justifications are as slim as the images are small here. The content may be embarrassing, naive, poorly checked for grammar and spelling, or just plain bad, but here it is.  Our audience was mostly regional, mostly friends and friends of friends. In late 2006 we started integrating Wordpress into the site, but the so-called “features” mostly remained offline until 2016! Some of them never made it, but  this one did. Enjoy!

Another year, another trip to Klamath Falls. And since I don’t seem to be able to edit well, here are a bunch of pictures of mostly the same guys. We had about 10 people in a crew, and had the park pretty much to ourselves. Click the pics for captions.

Rivers Inn Permission Pool

If you stay at the River’s Inn, they’ll let you skate their pool! Now that’s skate tourism at it’s best!

Klamath Falls Skatepark

Yes, the skatepark. The only people there were from out of town. Pretty much just us and one other guy. Weird.
