My friend Shawn Spreng, who’s house had the vintage beer cans lodged in the wall, and  coincidentally had already been growing his own hop vines, spotted these wild vines in Walker, CA. Here’s the story:

“I went motorcycle camping in the eastern Sierras. On my way up the mountain above Walker, CA I found this crazy big hops vine growing out of an old miner’s cabin. The last two photos are on Sunday on my way down the mountain after a snow storm. I managed to dig up a root of this plant and brought it home with me. Soon i’ll have a piece of this old vine growing in Oaktown.”
