374 Miles South

Yesterday I did the drive from SF to LA for the first time by myself! I was dreading this drive because (a) anyone who knows me knows that I shouldn't be allowed to be behind the wheel, and (b) all I remembered from previous cross-state trips was the awful smell of the cattle farms on hwy 5. For the record, it still smelled bad. But this time, I was so surprised by how beautiful it was. Yes, I just said hwy 5 is beautiful. But I mean, check out these pics -

(these flowers were up to my shoulders!)

Right?

So if you're thinking about taking a road trip, do it now while everything is blooming! [And get a good book on tape from your local library (I listened to Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen and it was perfectly, though morbidly, amusing)].
