Eva’s Byte #316 – Road Trip

“People don’t take trips, trips take people.” John Steinbeck

Taking full advantage of living along the East Bay, Road Trip No. 1 will take me to Sabin Point Park where I’ll embark on my new hobby of foraging for sea glass.

The short trek from my parking lot onto SE-114S, with a series of left and rights leading to Shore Road, should take approximately 11 minutes.

Thursday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun and clouds, with the temperature reaching 79. Low tide is at 8:25 a.m. Perfect.

My washable, polyester shopping tote contains all that is necessary for retrieving and/or minor excavating: sealable plastic bag and a spoon. To be added: bottled water, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, paper towels, and water shoes.

Even if I don’t find any sea glass, I’m sure I won’t go home emptyhanded with plenty of rocks and shells strewn along the beach.

In the capacity of a writer, my journey has taken me to the end of Part 4, having just completed Chapter 75 at 1100 words. Unless my imagination dictates otherwise, Part 5 should entail a short trip to the finish line.

As with any road trip embarked on—literally, literarily, or metaphorically—we often discover hidden inner strengths along the way to our destination.

*Wherever you trips take you, may the journey be self-fulfilling.

My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
