Notes: In the San Jacinto Mountains, where I live, is a river called the San Jacinto River that comes down from 10,800 ft. Mount San Jacinto. It is such a big mountain that there are several forks of the river, including one called the North Fork.
One day I took a hike up the North Fork from the highway, headed up towards the peak, with my friend Lee. As we made our way up the river we found incredible riches in plant life and pools. Eventually we stopped and sat for along time above a really nice pool with white water cascading into it.
After the hike I went back to my studio and recorded this song (in Drop-D tuning) while listening to a recording I had made previously of a creek. As I played, I imagined that I was back at that place on North Fork and tried to recreated the feeling it gave me being there.
