Most of my best memories from 2012 are from times spent with the folks from Juniper Ridge. Too many to list here, but I've written about a few of them on CS in the past few months. They're some of the kindest people I know and I'm so glad I got to see them a few times last week while bouncing around San Francisco, Oakland and Marin.Everything those fellers make is damn near perfect, but their new Trail Crew Soap is just about my favorite thing yet to come out of their California travels. I'm partial to the Desert Southwest, but there's seven different scents, so pick one that makes the most sense for you. It's worth it, I promise.
