With windows rolled down and the cool California air breezing through your car, you see endless rows of green crops for miles. Car games are initiated to pass the time, and you point out the window guessing what is being grown in the fields of green. You see big tractors carrying heaps of brown and then you notice workers with sun hats and gloves picking small round objects off the trees. All of a sudden a stench begins to linger in the air, the sent is so foul that you begin to drive a tad over the speed limit to escape.

Interstate 5 highway was completed in 1979 and has since then been the quickest way to travel between Blaine, Washington and San Diego, and California on wheels. Travelers trying to reach cities like Los Angeles, Sacramento, Portland and Seattle popularly use the road, as well as truck drivers delivering goods across counties.

Next time you are driving on the 5, use this illustrated map to put the vast land in front of you into perspective and see exactly what is growing.
