ITS CAITS 30TH BIRTHDAY
HER RETURNING SATURN
AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE THAN WITH A GOOD OL' FASHION DIRTY DESERT SHAKEDOWN.
A throwback in the hills
the highs and skies of the mojave, the forever encompassed Joshua Tree.
A celebration of friends we've made along the way of life and a time to build a few more memories to be retold around the fires and
under the moons to come.
We can't wait to see you all.
THINGS THAT WILL BE WORTH WRITING DOWN BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR JOSHUA TREE AND LOSE CELL SERVICE. MAYBE.
