Day 2: My morning coffee chair. Going to miss this in the coming week. Heading out the door now, down the road, and across the Cascade Mountains to Okanogan, Washington. Road trip. From the rainforest to the inferno. @itomhyde for @burndiary #bw #mybackyard #photodiary

From Africa they brought their own tribal spiritual practices which survive to this day …
Breakfast
Day 2: Grabbed breakfast at the local diner down the valley. The owner was changing 45 records in the 1960s jukebox. This place hasn’t changed a lot since the 1930s. William Least Heat-Moon judged the small town diner by the number of local calendars on the wall. Me, I look to the pie case. @itomyde …
