Got the "sunset" sweatshirt a long time ago. Aschwanden's drawings are great! My wife got me the exploded engine poster for my office a while back. Speaking of a while back...came across a signed 1st edition Idiot Book and the "cassette tape" version of the Idiot Book which was narrated by John Muir himself.
