Welcome to Cali

As the Deathcab show came to a close, we gathered our thoughts and belongings in preparation for the long road ahead. After a brief prayer and parting words shared with our better-looking counterparts, we departed for the warmer climates which California hopefully offers.

In the beginning, a pact was made to partner with our driver(Rob) in his awakeness as we rolled down I-5...I was out cold in about 5 mins, only waking momentarliy to catch small wisdoms from chase's conversation, the 'welcome to california' road sign, and a few random elk crossings.

It was about 4 a.m. when we pulled the rental to an empty roadside, and set up camp down a grassy trail. It was 7 when I emerged from the tent to the cacophonous barks of surrounding sea lions. We somehow stumbled across one of the most amazing geographies this fair country has to offer; a complete surprise. Encompassing us were the Northern California hills which crash against blue Pacific breakers, and protect our hidden lagoon and its abounding ecology.

A busy-bodied local woman, pacing towards kelp strands exposed by the low tide, informed us that we were in Crescent City, CA as she prepared to furrow the soggy beach in search of razor clams, eels, and other edible wildlife...soon after we discovered our whereabouts, we bid them adeu.
