Jan 10th Photos

For some reason I was able to upload photos this morning. These phone photos don't come close to doing justice to the scenery, but they at least give you an idea.

Kathy said she would try and get right next to this truckload of oranges if I wanted to try and reach out and grab a couple.

In the San Joaquin valley we have seen cattle feed lots, surrounded by fields of what looked like 4-6" tall wheat. We have also seen oil wells, lots of oranges still on the trees, harvested cotton fields and grapevines. We saw lots of trees with no leaves and we think they may have been almond or pistachio trees. In general I5 us pretty boring after you get 75 miles north on it.

You do get to see some interesting things early in the morning. At 6 AM I was walking up to the truck stop restaurant, which I found out is closed, and I saw this big boy maneuvering around the truck stop parking lot. I don't know what it was carrying. Didn't look like a transformer, and I was withing 50' of it for awhile. The trailer is one where a guy with a joy stick walks around and steers the axles.
