Day 19: The Tomato Highway

---

Day 19: Latitude 37.78, Longitude -121.94, Temp 90 degrees.

We loaded up and headed on the second longest leg of our trek to our final destination. No more hotels, lodges, or cabins. We are headed to Auntie Claudette's home. She was in Massachusetts when we saw her last. She left MA on July 1 and it took her less than a day to get here. We are on week three and still have nine more hours before we reach her.

However, leaving Las Vegas, we crossed into California, the final state (that we believe we will enter before going back home) of our trip. I-5 was the longest road we travelled and we must have passed over fifty double bucket trailers of tomatoes. We also saw one double of garlic, any accident would have made one really big scampi.

Thanks to our Google Maps voice, affectionately known as Charlize, we save two hours and were able to avoid a car fire causing a two hour delay on I-5. This caused us to pull off in Tracy, CA. Fitting enough place to stop for gas.

We finally arrived at Auntie's house only a half hour past our morning prediction. For the first time in ten years, I am able to see all four of my cousins at the same time. The continuous laughter began almost immediately.
