Towards the end of July I took a week to drive aimlessly through California with only one real destination in mind: the town of Colma. There, in Whitelawn Cemetery, the body of Emperor Joshua Norton is buried. Having had some time to review my logs of the trip, I've realized that some of the best stuff has very little to do with California and everything to do with not planning very well at all for a road-trip. This is Part 1 of that poorly planned trip.
