Lake Isabella (a reservoir, actually) is near the southern end of the Sierra Nevada range that divides the desert from the rest of California. After spending a couple of nights there I crossed the farming and oil country of the Central Valley and climbed into the Coastal Range. That’s where things were noticeably greener.
I don’t remember seeing this area so lush before. I guess I had always been here in the dry seasons when the dominant colors are brown and beige. But it’s spring and there has been a decent amount of rain. In fact, it rained last night here in Pismo Beach, and it’s misting this morning. We should get more tomorrow. It’s a welcomed change, even though it’s a bit chilly.
