NYR- California
The best thing about traveling so far is how I am noticing that each state has a unique look to it. Driving through California was great! All the pine trees and mountains were beautiful! Northern CA is alot different than along the southern tip of the state that I drove through earlier this year driving to AZ which was more desert and 2 lane roads. Still beautiful to see thought.
Just driving through was great! Although at that point I had been driving for almost 2 days and was ready to get to the airport because I was on my way to Hawaii!
After an amazing Hawaii trip it was great to see my Black Lion and get back on the road! A small part of me did feel a little bad that as I was enjoying the sun and the beach my Black Lion was stuck in a small airport.. I got over it! LOL
It was amazing driving last the lakes and rivers and truly seeing the impact of the drought! The picture does not do justice. That river beat is at least 100+ or more lower than the tree line.
I found a few scenic stops along the way.
Now I know where they stop to take the pictures to make puzzles!
Pollard Flats from what I could tell was just a restaurant and gas station off the side of the road! However it was nothing short of a simple small restaurant.
It has been around for almost 100 years. 3rd generation owner. It is a great small pit stop. Walls are covered with history! The place never looked too busy but I am sure they do plenty of great business.
The food was fantastic! and the women working there were super nice and knew alot about the place. I was told about Gertie in their bathroom. How she has been around since the 60s or so and how people have tried to steal her twice. Them finding her stuck in the window and such. It was great just standing there and watching people walk into the bathroom and getting a small fright. What made it better is that Gertie has a motion sensor and at just never the right moment she starts screaming! It was awesome! I was told however in the back bathroom they kept a live snake.. I was not going to go back and find out.... No Thank You!
