Signs of Thirst in the Golden State

JOANNA de VOS
26th December | California Interstate 5 / Southbound

EDEN, THE HOME OF CLASSY GRASS! 
Local!  Fresh! Green!

Everything for the Traveler...

 Juicy Peaches

 Delicious Apricots

 Our Mountains Are Almonds!








At least that's what the first sign says, 
passing by, tipping 80
on that 2-lane Valley highway 


The second sign says the road ends in 50 feet. 

 Slow down and move over.
No parking, any time.





 Bet the farm. 
Bet the ranch. 
The clearance sale is on.

 Better eat your veggies while they last.
The rest stop is closed.
