This episode is about my own story, mostly looking back at the end of my traveling, when I got off the road, and then also looking back at the beginning. It is mostly about my time spent in Slab City. I keep forgetting in my effort to interview other people that I have my own story that I still haven’t really shared on the podcast, just kind of referred to it here and there. I hope to share more similar episodes soon. Unlike other episodes, I didn’t write this one out, I essentially just recounted these parts of my life through the perspective I have now. I figured with my trip coming up at the end of October to cover the dirty kid memorial gathering in New Orleans, it was as good a time as any to start looking back at the time in my life when I became part of that nomadic sub-culture. This episode kind of sets the stage for the rest of my time spent traveling.

I’ve been reluctant to make episodes about these times because I know I would be mentioning Grant, and I wanted to give him his own episode with high production quality, so I’m back to working on that. All I can really do is talk about my experiences with him, so it will be about my own story but also Grant, because he was there for most of my traveling. I talk about this some in this episode, but I don’t meet him until after this time period.
