And as you can see, the photos are rather glorious. Nick Russell, Max Hammer, Gray Thompson, Eric Messier and Joel Oberly pulled off a serious mission. Using the hashtag #jive395, they mined some serious Eastern Sierra goods and told a pretty rad story of conservation and climate change on their individual Insty accounts. Scroll through and see.
