Wanna know what our roadtrip playlist is? I will tell you! We’ve been doing a lot of driving (an accumulative 22-ish hours so far, and 5-ish more today), which is a lot of time to occupy your mind. Eli West & Cahalen Morrison – Our Lady of the Tall Trees Tim O’Brien & Darrell Scott

So, hello La Grande, goodbye La Grande. It was a super short visit – Jim dropped me off and headed back to Pendleton to play and record some music with friends, and I hung out with my mom a little. She had to work both nights & sleep somewhere in between, so I had a
