Driving through California is a contrast in terrain. Twisting roads go through mountainous areas with forrestry or totally bare. Suddenly you find yourself in a large valley of agricultural use. There can be miles of oranges, almonds, or cranberry bogs. Where the groves exist you won't see a home or outbuildings but if there are ground crops it reminded me of driving through Wisconsin complete with barns and silos. Along the ocean shore the big metropolis' exist and traffic is horrendous. There you will find refineries, shipyards, mega corporations, and houses on the hills. I've tried to post some of each. The white peak belongs to Mt Shasta. It's stark contrast to the surrounding area is breathtaking. Enjoy our roadside tour.
