In this collection, Jeff McElroy continues where he left off with his debut, IPPY Gold Medal-winning Californios, exploring the waves, mountains, and deserts of California and beyond with a cast of characters reminiscent of Steinbeck’s seekers, Abbey’s apostles, and Dylan’s dirtbag disciples. From the Sierra headwaters to where the sagebrush arroyos meet the Pacific, the trail has always led West. Follow this ragtag band of Californios as they struggle to transcend the dams and concrete sprawl of modernity so they might keep afloat long enough to inhale at least one last golden sunset
