Description lol, I wanted to submit a new desktop shot...and thought this one was pretty funny

Anyway, remember I had gone on that cross-country trip back in September/October...I was gone for almost 3 weeks...and we spent a good week of it in California...and about 6 hours of that week stuck in a traffic jam on I-5

This was in Northern California...not long after passing the state line from Oregon...maybe an hour or so. Anyway, apparently some truck carrying fuel or something had wrecked...or two trucks tried to past a vehicle at them same time causing a bad wreck or something...I can't remember exactly. Anyway we were stuck for about 6 or 7 hours...and boy...was it fuuuunnn X3

I found a quarter on the side of the road ^^ I still have it as a souviner Anyway we got stuck right near an exit...but it led to this small town and had no other connection back to the highway...the other direction led to private property or something O_o needless to say we were good and stuck.

lol, you see the third picture? Bottom left corner? Those people were lucky...they had a mobile home to retreat to when it got dark...and a bathroom! Even though they had no plumming...at least they didn't have to go in the woods like everyone else...(I didn't have to thank God )

We made friends with the people in the white SUV and that red car in the first shot. People were all walking around waiting to hear any news...a helicopter was flying over head getting shots for the news...yeah...and I sat in my car and played Pokemon Crystal until it got too dark...then it was just boring X3

As you can see in the fourth picture, it got awfully dark...infact it was completely dark before we got moving again...lost a lot of time...but t'was still fun. I got stuck in a traffic jam in California! Now I can die happy j/k And no, again, we weren't stopped because of bridge work

Anyway, sorry for my rambling and, w00t, it's a new desktop shot X3

I-5 is always backed up. It sucks. I was on it a few days ago.

yeah the traffic can get pretty bad here in California and we sometimes call the Freeways "Parking lots" XD

lol, I can understand that X3 I've used that term numerous times before...but never did it apply best than here...

Got me thinking that maybe the bridge work ahead was the kind that goes on in a dentist's office O_o lol
