This was part of my teenland- Vancouver Island college days to combi van, mix tape, tree planting road trip blazed. To be in the middle of nowhere, being eaten by black flies, and almost by bears with the walkman playing - "The things I do for money, I'll never understand...the world is just a marble in the palm of my hand". Not sure why I'm revisiting the Pikes right now, but to see they are still playing is awesome. The songs are great.
