LoCO’s daily Instagram battle ran from March 2015 to June 2016. Instagram no longer serves the photos, so what’s left is who posted, when, the votes and the captions.

8:19 a.m.: The solitude and moodiness of this section of coast is why all of us live here. The surf may not always be as good as down south, the animals up here tend to be a bit more populous, and the weather can often times be relentless (especially this winter). But the beauty of it all is paramount to anywhere else in this state I've been. Stoked to call this place home now. @theshopsurf #nikond200 #nikontop #nikon #northcoast #northerncalifornia #california #cascadia #cascadiaexplored #staypnw #pnw #pnwonderland #pnwplayground #pacificnorthwest #pacificocean #ocean #pacific #humboldtcounty #explorehumboldt #blowhole #sky #rain #moody #sharks #outside #outthere #scary #saturday #home #theshop

2:52 p.m.: Comes Dawn After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open With the grace of a woman and not the grief of a child And you learn to build all your roads today because tomorrow's grounds are too uncertain for pleasure and future have a way of falling mid flight After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much So plant your own garden Decorate your own soul Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers And you learn that you really can endure , that you really are strong And you really do have worth And you learn and learn and learn With every good -bye you learn . #sunset #humboldt #humboldtcounty #mothernature #norcal #lovetheearth #sun #spirituality #awakening #consciousness #cali #california #vegan #vegansofig #rastafari #ras
