## Resource

Avoid surprise fees when registering your ride—stick to the official dmv.ca.gov site (look for the .gov domain) or AAA, which charges a small credit card fee instead of hidden processing charges. Meanwhile, travelers on the 5 Freeway through the Grapevine are stuck without rest stops—both northbound and southbound have been closed since May 13th for major water and wastewater upgrades, with reopening expected by August next year. Check Caltrans’ quickmap.dot.ca.gov for real-time rest area status before you drive. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
