Early 70's...the year...not me.
Roadtrip by thumb...started in Colorado...went to Kaintucky grabbed a friend...then to Washington state grabbed another friend...and then fer the "BIGGIE"...all the way down the west coast to mexico...i think by this time we were suppossed to be in San Diego on some particular day...ahhh the pressures of scehduling.
Standing on a cloverleaf, (Riccy that' s a kinda highway configgeration...not a plant...although to us it felt like quicksand) in Tumwater Wash. for 11 hours really thru us off schedule.
Somewhere on the phenominally breathtakin Oregon coast late one awesome sunsetting late afternoon we got a ride with Dudes on a mission....filling Gunnysacks with Shrooms.
We spent the night camped with them somewhere on a backroad of heaven...sampling their old stuff....I do remember setting a tent on fire and laughin...and hittin on Shirley and bein turned down...and bein with friends under the stars...the latter being still my most favoritest Hobbit way to spend an evening.
Shoom pickers...specially "serious" ones know it's the early bird that gets the worm....
The early morning Oregon coast...pickin and grinnin...one fer the sack one fer me...one fer the sack...two fer me...etc and etc as the early mornin sun drew rainbows on the caps proudly sproutin outta the spore life given shit ...sun rose and smiled.
Was it a day or more...we finally said our good-byes....so which ways South? ...Lookin up at the road sign ...we doubled over laughin ...remember that schedule?...we were 25 miles behind where we had been picked up.
Now how'd that happen?
Oh yea...ya gotta mention Clusterheadpains here....I got my first beast at 43...I don't know it must have been the roses.
Walk in the sunshine
