Are you talking about the rest stop at Coso Junction? That crossing can be ugly!

No, this one is farther north, but the same deal. You have to cross an uncontrolled intersection. Coso is a much busier one, with many more trucks, and I don't like trying to sleep there.

I'm glad someone knew to what I referred.

That is a beauty though, as artichokes go. Are they a cool season crop? Must be to produce that this early.

Yeah, they're usually done by early July. We might get as many as a dozen flowers in a year, but the first ones are always the biggest.

Are they better if you don't let them get too big? Like Zucchini?

I've never noticed a difference. I think they're fine as long as you get to them before they open.
