  Yeah, been through and around the state a few times.

  The Redwoods are… just absolutely stunning, and thats coming from an Olympic / Hoh Rainforest stan.

  Pacific Coast Highway is incredible as well.

  San Fran’s gotta be the only city in the English speaking world that is more hilly than Seattle, fuck.

  I remember driving south on I5 and just… actually seeing endless strawberry fields, not long after I’d discovered the Beatles, lol.

  On another trip, I somehow ended up on Rodeo drive… not long after discovering Rage Against the Machine.

  … maybe you could say I’ve had a very Lynchian experience of California.

    out of curiosity where were the strawberry fields on I5? i ask out of professional eating curiosity and hunger and I was planning on going to watsonville for their strawberry festival this year but the fields you mentioned might be closer to me and maybe i can go to theirs too. doesn’t woodland have a strawberry festival too? i might be able to con my wife into a third or fourth strawberry festival to fill up our rumtopf this year :3 but i want to find blackberry and raspberry festivals (without having to go to utah i know a great raspberry source in utah but i sure as fuck am not going to utah for raspberries for rumtopf. maybe they will ship.) for the rum buckets as well.

      World map of strawberry produce (currently 85 instances)

      World map of strawberry crops (currently 630 instances)

      First was working but right now both are currently erroring out for me.

      Unfortunately, all I could tell you is ‘somewhere between San Fran and LA’, lol.

      This was also… damn near 20 years ago, at this point.

      But I do just remember seeming endless fields of strawberries.
