“But this time was short; he had to get back to his class-room. I suggested running away for a season or two in time-obliterating wildness, and pictured the blessings that would flow from truancy so pious and glorious” - John Muir, The University of California Magazine (September 1901).

First Prime Rib of the season is up, this is gonna be a busy one. My old Fresno cowboy buddy Stony O’Neill from taught me this setup over two decades ago (RIP bud). Garlic, Thyme, seasoning, cracked pepper and brown mustard puréed with olive oil. The key is to marinate it overnight tightly wrapped in plastic then another uncovered to make it nice and crusty. Cast iron from the Pack Station cookhouse itself is the garnish. Hello Holidays 2023, let’s go!!!!

The stifling heat of the Central Valley will damn near kill ya and if it doesn’t do that it’ll p**s you off for sure. The oppressiveness eases a bit as you approach the Sierra foothills or meander …
