Photo Friday: Chloe and the Giant Orange

See all Photo Friday: Dog travel photos

Chloe’s there — a bit blurry, as she is in so many of my pictures — sitting on the counter of a now-closed Giant Orange:

Orange-shaped stands used to dot old Highway 99, a north-south thoroughfare that ran the length of the West Coast. Much of it has disappeared, replaced in large part by I-5, but pieces remain, lined with evocative neon signs and yes, giant oranges. This shack, which once served orange juice to thirsty, hot travelers, is now attached to a very decent restaurant in Shasta Lake, CA, called Joe’s Giant Orange Café.
