| so in the summer of 1999 russ and three of his friends went to california after they graduated from high school. it was what russ would call a blast. |
| above from left to right is jesse, austin, russ, and tom. seen here on a bench at the mission at san juan capastrano. there were swallows (birds). |

 |
| austin with "naked lady" plants |
| jesse was begining to loose his mind |
 |
 |
 |
| austin and russ in a giant sequoia...the trees were bigger than russ and austin combined... if you can believe it. |
| jesse, on an emergency run to the bathroom through this fallen giant sequoia... needless to say the park rangers were having a hoot messing with visitors to the park. jesse ended up geting splinters in his behind when he decided to give up on finding the bathroom and went in this hollow tree. we left soon after due to the smell. |
