That was surreal, hearing the blast from more than 200 miles away and then finding out what it was.
And I do remember year after year getting pummeled by the Pioneers in football--except for one year (would have been 1991?) we got a victory in Omak as I recall. The fans (including me) rushed the field, it was a good time.
I would've been amazed to find anyone hanging around here who even HEARD of Okanogan let alone lived just a few miles away.
