I'm On My Way

I finally left the Bay Area yesterday afternoon. The drive was uneventful, and I made it to LA in about 6 hours, including a backtrack to my storage unit and a stop for a burrito along the way.

Driving down the 5, I had the good fortune to pass a couple large feedlots, one for Cowschwitz, otherwise known as Harris Ranch, and another near Bakersfield. I guess the wind was a bit shifty as I didn't smell Cowschwitz (pictured here), until I was almost upon it. I also didn't see an easy way to get off the highway to take a better picture, so I just snapped one while driving (it's not as tricky as it sounds, provided you don't try to compose the shot). Of course, the quality suffers and this one does not show the true scale of the lot.

I spent the night in LA at Erik's. Today I'm off to Joshua Tree National Park.

PS: On top of everything else, my domain expires this week, and AvidNewMedia, the company I registered it with, seems to be taking a powder. So if you're reading this, and want to email me, use my gmail account, or the bigdaddy speakeasy one (I ended up paying to keep it, not bad for $5 a month).
