I want to make a side trip to Amboy, CA just to get a photo at the gas station there with my car getting some gas.
I thought about driving over to the most south west point in the continental US at the Mexican border and the ocean. I am still researching if that is really a safe area for a lone white man to be in. I have a photo of me in my car at the Key West monument.
