Lost Hills, CA-Day 1 Across America

Lost Hills, CA was as far as we got the first day out headed towards Roanoke and my new life as Artist in Residence at the Virginia Museum of Transportation.  Mom and I had waited for the mail, and, by the time we got out of town, we were pretty well tired.  Several days of figuring out how to get several thousand of my train drawings and the rest of our few worldly belongings into the Honda Civic left us with little energy as we headed south past the almond and orange orchards along I-5.  We fought trucks all afternoon and stopped at Pea Soup Anderson's and prepared for the quest across America.
