RoadHacker hacks away his days at Scottsdale Community College (SCC) located in Scottsdale Arizona. SCC is home of the Artichokes and our iconic mascot is Artie Artichoke.
RoadHacker likes Artie Artichoke and did a 5 day/4 night, 1,581 mile roadtrip to attend the Artichoke Festival in Castroville, California.

Artichoke Festival. This was not what I expected. It was a local community event. It is interesting how my employer emphasizes diversity. The Artichoke Festival is fun because of the diversity. There was a parade, there was food, there was entertainment, and there were families having fun. [ Pam and RoadHacker | AgroArtwork | Eating Competition] I almost entered the artichoke eating contest, but I don't know how to eat artichokes.
Cinderella Motel. Drove from the Artichoke Festival in Castroville to Hollister. The drive was via Gilroy (location of recent earthquake and home of the Garlic Festival held in July). Total miles were 58 -- most of which were driven in a light rain.
