The image depicts the storefront of "Carmel Saddlery," a saddlery store. The establishment is characterized by large, bold lettering on its sign that reads "SADDLERY" with additional text indicating it's also an "ELER." A distinctive feature in front of this shop is a life-sized statue or model of a donkey standing on what appears to be a sawhorse, possibly used as part of the store's display. The black and white photograph suggests it might have been taken during mid-20th century times. Additional information indicates that this location may be situated along U.S. 99 in San Joaquin Valley town California.

As someone who has largely taken train journeys rather than roadtrips, I don’t have any nostalgic memories of roadtrips in cars (simply because I’ve never lived somewhere where that was a thing. Driving 20 min meant leaving the country)

However, this giant artichoke in Castroville makes me want to go on a road trip to see it. First, I gotta learn how to drive a car
