Road work can happen all year long in California. Here, in late autumn, the left lane was closed for over-pass repair ahead.

The spacing between cars can vary from crowded to almost deserted. Here the traffic ahead moved just far enough away to resemble a deserted highway.

An oak tree just off the highway to the right had lower branches that resembled snakes. They disappeared into the dirt and rose out again several feet later.

The highway ran south mostly, but would weave right to the west, then left again toward the east.
