Manzanita Shenanigans

Posted on by TheBun

After 2 nights of lone wolfing it in the Devastated Area, I was ready for some socializing.  Lucky for me, my brother Tommy and his band of amigos from San Francisco were in town for a Birthday camping trip.  I joined up with the crew for 48 hours of nonstop giggles, fun, hiking and light painting.  It was a blast; even though I only knew a handful of them, I felt like I was an old-time friend and we quickly shared sarcastic jokes, inappropriate humor and general shenanigans.  I can see why Tom doesn’t want to leave SF; he’s got an awesome community of friends who share our sarcastic senses of humor and thirst for adventures.  I plan on stealing his friends when I eventually return to the Bay Area.

This is what you get when you combine the artistic and creative forces of bright and successful young profesionals living in the city…
