While seemingly everyone in the Tahoe area was busy covering their bike in purple fur, gathering glow sticks and hoarding every water receptacle in the nation while getting ready for the plague that is Burning Man, a few of the "sane" people left that wanted to have a rockin' good time headed down the Reno to catch the legend that is Hank III.

     Our sleep was disturbed by trucks flying by our trailer, probably to go fishing, pretty damn early in the morning. Still, that wasn't enough to keep us from getting our full rest and after a while we just totally ignored it. After the long day before we all needed full shuteye, trucks ripping up the dirt road we slept next to or not. Once the sun reached a high point and temperatures in the trailer peaked, we all groggily got up, tore down camp and headed to Medford to check out their park and Jacks Boardshop. This would be the most rushed day of the trip. We had to make it from Medford, Or to Ukiah, Ca in order to meet up with good buddy Justin Capri of Freedom Skateshop. He had us lined up to meet up at a party going on at a secret bowl in the hills of the famed Emerald Triangle. With a few too many stops in between our start and our destination, we hit the road ready to destroy everything in our path.
