The first book series to be printed on hemp, the adventure begins near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Over the summer of 98’, Mitch Phillips and his painting coworker Kevin make plans for Europe. Long days mean nothing when there’s a reason. Fall comes and they catch a ride to NYC. Buying one-way tickets, they land in Luxembourg, get lost in Amsterdam and then wait for the final leg in Manchester, England.

A hard, cold place. Dark humor with stark personalities, they are greeted with mumbling accents, black hash and wild mushrooms. Drugs and searching minds. Losing time. Anywhere is better than here.

Up the road a bit, after a brief yet traumatic stop in northern England, on Mitch’s twenty-seventh birthday they are driven to the Highlands of Scotland for real purpose. Hired to harvest Christmas trees, Mitch battles with his traveling partner, the his manic depression, and his kinship with drugs and alcohol. He is searching for the difference in life and the real meaning of art. He has a guitar, a camera, and a snowboard—nothing out of the ordinary. Everyone does this, right?
