September 15: America’s Breadbasket

Williams, CA


We are now traveling by SUV for the rest of the trip, and today departed from the Bay Area following Interstate 5 up through the San Jocquin Valley through Redding to Mount Shasta.

I have more “beautiful” images; however I am posting this field of grain and the silos as being the most representative of the journey through hundreds of miles of fields which contain of a very wide variety of crops.

Note the slight blur near the fence…we were doing about 75 mph at the time, and I was riding shotgun in the front seat snapping this off with a quick roll down of the window.

Tomorrow Crater Lake and then Sun River, Oregon.

Beautiful shot! I love the light and shadow play and the expanse of field in front of the silo's. Very nice catch!

You've got a fast shutter to get this. Looks like a great start to your adventures.

Wow, quite a big place, thank goodness for farmers, their living is tough, 24/7.

It's the land of subsidized water; the crops are owned by big corporations who got rich on taxpayer dollars.

Crater Lake! Oooh. I always wanted to go there. Can't wait.

You call that wheat!? If you want to see wheat (or corn -- other than my lame jokes), drive through Kansas or Nebraska. (Well, yeah, I *am* from Omaha. Why?) Nice shot (of the puny wheat).

Perhaps you can suggest to your carmates a rousing game of License Plate?

Nice grab from the car! I think I have seen those grain silos before..!

Hi Robin-I know we all have our share of through-the-window photos!

The trip sounds wonderful. Have fun.
