We continued traveling north until reaching highway 99, where we took ...

... we were picked up by a friend of one of my travel mates--they knew each other from Seeds of Peace Camp some years back. The kid and his parents drove us back to their apartment-style home, and after dealing with the cigarette smoking in the car for awhile (which would be a theme this weekend), we arrived to their house near 11 pm or so.
