Not as dramatic as the one previously, but the Willits Welcome Sign.


Plus one along US 101 in Humboldt County, Northern California of the mountain scenery.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

This one I took as it shows the topography of the suburban Bay Area as well as the yellow grass bare hills while rush hour traffic fills the lanes of I-80 here.

It's actually a repurposed Reno Arch.  Willits definitely got their money's worth getting some flair entering the downtown area.

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
