Creator's Key Takeaways
This is number one on my bucket list. I've gotten to go basically visit every grave or meet just about anyone I've ever wanted to and Bob was the last on my list of people to go pay homage to.
I just couldn't believe I was in here. He sang about being in here on this property so many times.
I just couldn't believe. The guy said, 'Yeah, that's exactly where Bob used to pray. He would write songs. He would think, meditate, smoke his herb. He would just become, you know, one with God here.'
It was an amazingly awesome, moving experience for me. I definitely hope to get back here again someday.
