The California Road Trip Issue
[From the Editor’s Letter]
My earliest memories of California scenery are from road trips to inland deserts. I remember pulling cactus spines from my uncle’s leg in a sweaty cap, pores clogged with sunscreen, parched by dry heat and “quenched” with warm water from plastic bottles. In college, my drives up and down the 101 were really about efficiency and making sure I didn’t veer off into oncoming traffic. The only visual impressions I got from those long hours on the road were miles of the same orchard kaleidoscopes interrupted by fields of grazing cows. California was obvious to me.
