This is a map of the trip I took at the end of October 2010 to various parts of California. I drove approximately 1800 miles, which is astounding considering I don’t like driving very much. And because I don’t like driving very much, I broke it up into smaller trips.

• Left Henderson, NV on 10/21 and drove to Bakersfield, CA and stayed the night.
• Left Bakersfield on 10/22 and drove to Monterey, CA with a stop in Paso Robles for lunch. Stayed in Monterey until 10/29.
• Left Monterey and drove to Solvang, CA with a side trip to San Simeon to see the elephant seals. Spent the night in Solvang.
• Left Solvang on 10/30 and drove to Carpinteria, CA for one night.
• Drove back to Henderson on 10/31.

I should be posting more pics in the coming days.

It’s been atypically cloudy and rainy so far this year, which is a good thing. Today was really gray until late in the afternoon when it started to clear, with some big puffy clouds lingering.

For a short stretch, uploading directly from flickr to the blog wasn’t working nor was uploading directly from my phone. But it seems to be working again, so I hope I can continue my pic of the day project on this blog as well as in flicker.
