(the reason there's a plane pic at the end is b/c we hit a deer in montana & therefore had to take a 31 hour bus ride to chicago to rent a car to get to rothbury. after that, we flew home & i eventually had to fly back out to montana to get my car back. sucked financially, but def. made it more of an adventure!)

Wow dude, good picts... I use to live in OB back in around 93 and 94. That was a kick ass town back then, just one giant party. We stopped down there a couple years ago and its a little differant. I couldnt belive they put a cop sub station in the parking lot of the peir :rolleyes:

Were are the desert picts from? Moab or Canyonlands?

[DifferentDrummer]

yea, probably the best thing about OB is winstons. we caught the jerry garcia band (seems funny to still call them that...) the time before, & the electric waste band this time.
the cops usually don't bother anyone, and it almost feels good to have them there b/c i heard there's a lot of 'white power' idiots who hang out on the beach there.
either way, my <3 belongs to northern cali!

desert pics... we hit up arches, bryce & zion on this past trip. i've been to most of the parks out there though. i absolutely love it there. i live in jersey, so to be in the middle of the desert at night & look up at the stars... no words can describe that! :)

Arches rocks, its about 7 hour drive from me. I do a lot of off roading over there.

my father in law lives part time in slab city. He is nomadic and travels in the summers, slab city in the winters.

i only knew of it from 'into the wild'.

that's where i first heard of leonard knight & salvation mountain too.
then i saw him in a few documentaries about the salton sea.

it was very surreal meeting him. such a beautiful soul.

Those pics are fantastic-- you must have had a wonderful time! How long did it take you?

[DifferentDrummer]

definitely an amazing time. we left just b4 memorial day weekend & hit up summercamp, and ended up home a little after rothbury. guess it was just under 2 months.

so many amazing things on the trip. like nakey hot springs @ esalen, all the random camping spots, all the nat'l parks, meeting up w/ our friends in CO & CA, watching LOST on the laptop in the tent, etc..

but i think the main theme of the trip was 'searching for the sound'. my gf bought me the audiobook in boulder & we listened to it on the way out to cali. ( we <3 phil! )
and then the last set at rothbury was phil & friends. such an amazing show & we were both in tears for a few songs. : P :rose:
