Working on the internet makes it easy to travel and do just about anything you want. When I heard my friend had to drive from Portland to San Diego I decided not only to join, but to drive the full 18 hours in one straight shot.
At around 2 pm we started the car. Oregon to California is a boring four to five hour drive. Once you leave the greater Portland area there really isn’t much to see until you hit the border. The good news is northern California is even worse, with the exception of the Shasta area and the hilarious town and street names. Weed, California, East Street, and other middle of nowhere places gave us something to laugh at, but it was still boring as shit.
Eventually we got to Redding, California, home of the most northern In ‘n Out burger. After eating maybe a bite or two of my burger I gave the rest, and two dollars, to some vagrant kids. They looked pretty hungry and I was preparing for beach season anyway.
The middle of California is the worst place ever. We saw nothing from Redding to LA except for Sacramento, which isn’t exactly eye candy. Luckily for us we had plenty of cigarettes and the radio worked.
The traffic really picked up somewhere south of LA and we started hauling ass. Those SoCal folk like to maintain a minimum speed of 80 mph and at five something in the morning we were for it. Eventually we showed up in San Diego. I’m planning on shooting boners here, and then moving on to LA, Vegas, Salt Lake City, and some other places. Hopefully good things will follow.

Sacramento has no need for additional Portland style “Paul Bunyon” hipsters. You did the right thing by sparing the town your presence.

I made that same drive in one go once. It was mostly boring, but no big deal. I mean, I didn’t feel like I needed to blog about it or anything. I’d be more inclined to blog about how glad I am that I don’t live in Portland anymore.

normally i don’t hate on this site but why would you publish something about how you did something boring and how everything you saw was boring and leave it at that?
