2 Weeks ago I drove my family up to Northern California. The drive was a test of will power and preparation as I took my parents 2007 Honda Accord up the CA Interstate 101. The entire trek was a 7 hour drive totaling 398 miles from sunny Southern California to lusious and green Northern Calfornia.

We could have saved 50 miles and about an hour of drive time by going on the Interstate 5, however we heard that the mountain pass was snowed in the night before, so we avoided the mountains.

As we drove up the hilly curvy coastal highway, we saw the snow topped mountain ranges from afar. It's great to be able to live in California. With the coastline to my left, and beautiful mountain ranges to our right, we drove through past the groves of foot tall grass and grazing cattle.
