Back into the valley, coming from Pasadena

Image
  I have driven home from Pasadena, let’s face it- so many places in southern California,   this afternoon.   As many times as I have made that drive, and dreaded the next 3- 31/2 hours of coming across the grapevine, crossing the greater Bakersfield  area: Pumpkin Patch, White Lane, Panama and Ming (if you wanna get to the mall), rolling past I58, California, Rosedale Standad Road then greeting the valley at 75/80 MPH. It’s Small town after small town, Freeway attraction after another Freeway attraction. If you missed the Starbucks or Panda Express , or McDonalds (no listeria detected) at that last exit, give it 15-20 miles you’ll and you’ll be at another. They even look the same.  So, here’s an,  headed south on the I-5, 2-3 miles before the grade, and I took this photo, forever and hereafter known as 75SBI5. Beautiful sky.  Apple  IPhone 14 Pro Max
