196 miles via CA 99, I-80 and I-5. Cumulative distance: 4,718 miles.
GTW Hop 27: Kingsburg CA to Sacramento CA
This was supposed to be entirely on CA 99, but a wrong turn in Sacramento resulted in a 7-mile error. Oops. But at least we didn’t run into any low bridges.
The 180+ miles on CA 99? Boring, boring, boring. Flat, nearly featureless (unless you consider citrus groves to be a feature) and very bumpy. More evidence of California’s fiscal problems, I suppose.
The big thrill was seeing a sign for the Chowchilla prison. It used to be a women’s prison but is now coed. In any case, it still has a cool name. Chowchilla. Very poetic. Someone should write a song… “How will a girl from Chowchilla find a man to love?” Something like that.
I sniffled all the way to Sacramento. Not one of our better travel days.
I have one week to shake this cold before we arrive in Tillamook. Time for massive doses of Vitamin C?
