The Road Trip

I’m driving south down the 5 from Seattle to LA. I’ve split the nearly 20-hour journey into a three-day trip. I’ve done the same trip previously without knowing what to expect. All by happenstance, I witnessed Mt. Shasta right in the midst of a rosy sunset, I fell in love with the quaint cottages of Carmel, and I even lost a license plate (but that’s a different story).
