A photograph I took on my California Coast road-trip from earlier this year was used on the cover of a Xiu Xiu Deerhoof split 7-inch. I think it's on sale now. The photograph was taken in the Lost Coast of Calfornia, the only part of California that does not have a highway serving it. The engineer's building highway one, aka pacific coast highway, could not build through this part of California. So the highway merges with the 101 a little east. However, there are still country roads that you can drive on. In my mom's small Saturn, I decided to drive through, and ended up getting stuck about 20 miles into the forest... Stuck in mud... For 24 hours... No cell signal... On a road that no one drives on... Had to sleep in car w/ two friends... Saved by mushroom foragers in the next day.... This sunset was both an amazing sight, and also a sign that it was about to get dark, and we were no getting out that day..........................
