Joshua Tree, Jojoba Beans, and Costa Rica

Been in Isla Vista for a spell. Stayed at the infamous Rancho on Abrego Street. I do not have the words nor the time to expound on how pleasant, kind, and serendipitous it has been to be here..
while I was here:
Kayak'd @ Devereax/Sands
Sailed a Hobie Cat off of Ledbetter
Went to Brewhouse with some German travellers
Roamed SB vaguely in search, vigilantly watchful, for J...

We head to Joshua Tree this afternoon. There, we will work on a jojoba bean farm for a few weeks, picking beans @ $1.2/lb Presumably, $200/day is possible. If each of us can depart with $2000.00 we will be in excellent shape to venture on toward Costa Rica.
Thank yous, and smiles to everyone at the Rancho-Tommy, Keelen, Matt, Connelly, Boomer, Brittany, Mitch, Pat, Martin and everyone I forgot...Big ups, see you all soon.
