MIKE DAY — SCOTT FARGO

ON THE ROAD
Originally uploaded by jonfobes.

One summer in the late 1970s when Scott was doing research on the southern pine beetle, he hired Mike to help him cut trees and haul samples. To escape the blistering Texas woods, they hit the road and hitch-hiked to Florida, where they could find beer, Bud, sand, surf ... and probably some home-grown. (I love this picture despite its poor quality.)
