On the Road Again... Again.

Short post from Buellton, Ca., home of ANDERSON'S SPLIT PEA SOUP. Very famous. Been around forever, and has a little logo of two little chefs splitting a pea. There's now a restaurant and hotel attached to the business, and the town has pretty much built up around it.

There''s also Solvang, a quaint little 'dutch'(?) touristy place a few miles east. Big tourist place.. Big. I may get some pictures tomorrow, but there were too many cars and people there today.

I left home later today instead of Sunday, and I'm about 130 miles or so away. It's GOOD to be 130 miles away.




Last time I went through this area the hillsides were dry and dangerous, but there has been some great rain this winter, and everything is green. It's a pretty state when it's green. In this area there are horse farms and a CASINO, which I'm off to visit for a bit tomorrow.

I don't know how far north I will get this trip. I may just muck around in places I have sped through in recent trips on my way to Oregon, as I no longer need to go and visit my old friend there. I'm not eager to do long driving, at least it seems that way today.


Might change my mind tomorrow.

You know me.
