Buttonwillow Rest-2

Heading home to Oakland from Southern California very late at night, I encountered heavy rains on and off beginning just pass Pasadena. The worst was going across the Grapevine on Highway 5 where the rain turned to sleet and by the time, I reached the Buttonwillow Rest Area, I was exhausted and needed a break. Shortly after a two-hour nap, the rain ceased; a full moon peeked through the clouds; and I stepped into a shockingly attractive environment with trees made extra green while streets, structures and vending machines had been scrubbed clean — thanks to record rains in California.
