MFR - CHS88 Day 1
Landing in MFR (Medford, OR) today. I still find it just insane that it's called the "Rogue Valley International Airport" -- They got the "international" status due to some agriculture need. Silly.
Flying in -- very hazy. smoggy? naw, not enough people for that - but all of No.Cal. seem to have haze settled between the mountains. Sad in a way.
Flying into MFR airport, spotting key roads, remembering a little bit of the lay of the land. When we landed, walking across the tarmack, I looked over & saw Hwy 62 - is that THAT close? I remember it being further away.
Keep in mind I haven't been here in 15+ years. I think I was 19 last I was here?
Lots has changed, naturally - and yet not so much. Medford seems so much smaller. I had to take a check down to the photographer earlier, which is "downtown" -- which took all of 5 mins to get to, and another 5 mins driving to the "south end of town." Medford used to seem to big.
The pizza/beer thing is in an hour (er, 50 mins). I think I'll wander over to Central Point, drive around for a few mins before arriving.
So far, not really so much "memories" coming back, just images.
Here's to hoping I have some fun -- but there is that "what do I have in common with anyone here anymore" feeling. Guess we'll find out!
