It's time to travel again! For the next four days, Jerome and I will explore Monterey.
Packing the necesities
Late Sunday morning was a great time to travel by car. Traffic was low and construction work was non-existent, so I made good time. Eventually, the car needed more fuel and I needed some food, so a rest stop near Lost Hills proved useful. While there, I discovered something. No matter where you go, no matter what company you favor, every single gas station mini-mart smells exactly the same.
This rest stop was brought to you by Wendy's
Wendy's provided me with chicken nuggets, apples, and Dr. Pepper. Unfortunately, the soda took its course, and I needed to stop about an hour later. I then discovered what is quite possibly the most beautiful rest stop in the nation.
Seriously, this is the stop
Really. THIS. IS. THE. REST. STOP.
After the stop, the rest of the trip was pretty uneventful. Besides a near-collision with a suicide squirrel. The stupid rodent actually stayed beside the road until I was about ten feet away from it before deciding to bolt across the road. A swerve and an unpositive verbal assessment of all squirrels ever, I had no further drama.
The invasion has begun
The hotel room was small, well-furnished, and warm. So far, the trip seems to be off to a good start.
