We went to see Pinegrove play a small room at UNH, and it ended up being one of the best sets I saw all year.  I’d checked out the demos floating around online after Empire!Empire! mentioned them as one of their favorite bands, and I liked a bunch of those songs but hadn’t really given Cardinal a legit listen yet.  Hearing this band live cemented my love for them.  @runforcoverrecords @pinegroveband Pinegrove @ UNH.  Durham, New Hampshire. 5/6/2016. http://www.ryaneyestone.com/

As our trip began to wind down, I became obsessed with seeing Sitting Bear.  While my companions settled down around the fire at our campsite between Bear Mountain and Hawksbill, I set off into the woods wearing my camp shoes, under the uninformed opinion that it “wasn’t that far”.  The rolling trail up the ridge of Bear Mountain was beautiful, but a uniform dusting of dried leaves made it slow going, and kept me cursing the camp shoes the entire way.  I reached Sitting Bear, and decided to push on to the summit of Bear Mountain instead of turning back.  I came back down to camp with my headlamp, capturing this shot of the gorge on the way down.  My friends looked up from the campfire.  “We thought you were dead!” Linville Gorge, North Carolina.  Spring 2016. http://www.ryaneyestone.com/
