California Highway 99 – Atwater

Photos From California Highway 99 Atwater, CA Atwater was a nice little town with many tree lined streets. Of the communities we visited, Atwater was one of Tanya’s two favorites. There definitely seemed to be a lot of civic pride and once downtown there is no question where you are with Atwater Trophy, Atwater Electronics, Atwater this and Atwater that. I would say that the streets were empty, but compared to some of the places north of here, it was full of hustle and bustle.

Non-photo day?

It is not often that I go a day without taking at least a couple of photographs, but that is what happened on Monday. It was not until 11:30 that night that I realized I did not have a picture for my Project 365. My picture of the day for day 291 is of Tanya and I in my obligatory daily photo.

I did not forget

Seriously, I am taking my daily photos for Project 365, I just do not always have time to put them up. Heck, I did five posts yesterday and have already done a couple today. Besides, Tanya is here, so I am slightly distracted. Sunday we dealt with a little rain most of the day. Towards the end we were treated to several rainbows. My photo of the day for day 290 is of one of the rainbows we saw along CA Highway 99.

California Highway 99 – Turlock

Photos From California Highway 99 Turlock, CA The homes in the part of Turlock we saw were all pretty new. We did manage to go inside one, so naturally I took pictures. It was a very nice home. Some of these places start blending into each other, but Turlock was one of the nicer communities we visited. A lot of new homes for sale up there, but they did pack the houses close together.

California Highway 99 – Hughson

Photos From California Highway 99 Hughson, CA The next stop on our tour of CA Highway 99 was Hughson. To be fair, Hughson is not really on Highway 99, but it was a prospective location for my friends to move to, so we took the six or seven mile detour. On the way, we came across the Resendiz Family Fruit Barn which was decorated for Halloween and had pony rides and tasty treats to give families a nice destination for a Sunday afternoon. I also took the opportunity to introduce Tanya to taco trucks, which have the best carne asada …

California Highway 99 – Ceres

Photos From California Highway 99 Ceres, CA The next town we stopped in was Ceres, CA. It borders Modesto and if it were not for the sign saying we had entered Ceres, I doubt I would have noticed a difference. Ceres seemed to be a clean, quiet town with nothing particularly remarkable about it. Lots of orchards and fields for crops. It was Sunday and rainy, so not sure if that was the reason why it seemed to be so quiet.

California Highway 99 – Modesto

Photos From California Highway 99 Modesto, CA A few miles south of Ripon we came into Modesto, the first of the prospective towns my friends from Arkansas considered moving to. I always say that you can tell a lot about a place by the motorcycles in it, so a stop at the Harley-Davidson dealership made sense. For those of you that feel I am not giving an accurate portrayal of Modesto or any of the other towns in this CA Hwy 99 series, these photos are only meant to give a first impression of these places, from an unbiased perspective. …

California Highway 99 – Ripon

Photos From California Highway 99 Ripon, CA I have a couple friends that are moving to Central California from Arkansas in a couple of weeks. They have never visited any of the towns they are considering moving to. Since Tanya and I happened to be passing through the area, we decided that we would do a quick pictorial of each of the possible locations they provided to me. Since we spent Saturday evening in Ripon, we decided to start the pictorial there. It just so happens that my great-grandmother on my father’s side was a Ripon, and since I had …
