Over 152 to Santa Cruz

Pictures along the San Luis Reservoir, route 152 through Gilroy and Watsonville to Santa Cruz, CA.

Reflections from the car window barely visible against the backdrop of undulating hills.

I expect giraffes to be wandering among the trees.

Unless you're the lead dog, the view never changes. 

We can all agree on this.

Hardscrabble terrain.  Same truck still ahead of us. 

Felt like I was in a John Steinbeck novel, regrettably not that I've ever read one.  This is the color splotch photo.  Aqua portapotty, red stripes, yellow water bucket, white truck cab. 

 

Then you're in Santa Cruz.  Please set your clocks back 25 years.
