    I took this photo on Easter Sunday either 2004 or 2007. I had to drive to the power house in Valmy Nevada for a 6am work shift as a boilermaker the next morning. I got there at 2am. I was so bummed I couldn't go out. Nobody was out because the swell had been strong for over a week. Most people were surfed out, and the swell was dropping, making it less appealing to locals. Work suucks.
