Me and Nick got to spend some quality time with Ned (Edward Can I Play Joyner) in the hinterlands of Cool California near Placerville, where Ned was working. We got to stay at this amazing house up on a ridge, with views out to Sacramento and all the way to the Bay Area and the Pacific Ocean. It was spectacular- you could see the fucking curve of the earth! Looking the other way east was a seemingly endless expanse of wilderness with the Sierra Nevadas stretching into Nevada and Lake Tahoe. We didn’t see any while we were there but the property had been visited recently by bears cougars and a number of resident rattlesnakes. The temperature consistently hit 100 plus degrees, but it was a dry delicious heat that felt less intense than an 80 plus degree day in high humidity Bloomington. But still hella hot which made the swimming hole at Traverse Creek Falls especially welcoming except of course for the hike in and back out 
☺ Three of us even managed to fit in a Blind Uncle Harry private event show while there.
