I dig this picture for three reasons.

1. Russian Gulch is rad.

2.  My wife has a curious fascination with bridges (guess who took this picture). She’s awesome like that.

And 3.  This shot was taken the day after we stayed out all night getting acquainted with the kind folk of Elk, California, only to wake up bleary-eyed and dazed to our innkeeper saying almost too calmly that “we are under a severe tsunami warning, and this property will be leveled if the tsunami makes landfall.  Would you like coffee?”

Memories.
