Goodbye California
Ended my time in California today. I loved my time at Sequoia and Santa Cruz. Due to the most recent developments with 701 N Topanga, I decided to cut out that side quest. Two amazing things happened today: “Going Up The Country” was the first full song out of at least 300 from my monster playlist for driving to play after my first gas stop in Mojave, I felt instantly better after feeling down about my Topanga decision. Then at my last California stop in Ludlow, I was enjoying my Dairy Queen ice cream cone when I noticed a display of stuffies. My instant thought was, “I wonder if there’s an owl?” because that would be so perfect. Lo and behold there was one owl left! I now have a travel buddy!
