Here are a few pictures from my Milton 20th reunion in June:

 

 

 

Henry got to run Chuck's backhoe, to his immense delight. Here he is digging up a pile of dirt down by the river. 

The girls putting on a show 

Crater Lake water is brilliant blue since the catchment area is just the lake surface and surrounding cliffs; it's pure rainwater, with almost no runoff, and not much biology.

Here's Henry on the rim at Crater Lake, Oregon. In places it's 2000 feet from rim to edge and another 2000' to the bottom of the lake. 

Chuck ready to give the kids a ride in the mule 

Sylvie and Omama, on the bank of the Illinois branch of the Rogue River, just in front of Omama and Chuck's house.

Mount Shasta is so big (14,162 ft) you can see it for hours as you approach it. So big...you can hardly believe it.
















Hoppy, one of Dorothea and Chuck's delightful dogs.












Henry and the world's biggest pine cone




















Happiness is: driving the mule.
