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.
Photos From California Highway 99 Delhi, CA Delhi was our next stop. To be fair, the day was getting long and the weather was not cooperating, so I may have started rushing it a little. It was pretty obvious that Delhi was having its problems with many roadside businesses shut down. It was definitely “small town.”
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.
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 …
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.
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. …
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 …
Yosemite National Park Photos From the High Sierra After spending the day in Sequoia National Park we drove to Oakhurst to spend the evening. It was a really nice place to wake up to. I took Buddy out for his morning walk, then after bringing him back to the room, I went for another walk with my camera. After a small breakfast we headed up Highway 41 to Yosemite. I can not believe I had never been before. The one thing I noticed was that the views looked almost fake because they were so beautiful. It was like a pull …
Photos from Sequoia and Kings Canyon Southern Sierra Nevada National Parks I do not really have a lot to say. Tanya was in town and there was nothing on TV. I asked Buddy if he wanted to go for a ride and he jumped in the car and waited for two hours, so we went for a drive. We ended up at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. It was a lot different there today than when I went to Sequoia last May. Zero snow and the rivers were way down. I suppose that is only natural and next May …

Photos From Psycho Donuts [adrotate group=”6″] Campbell, CA, I learned about Psycho Donuts, in Campbell, CA via their Facebook page. A quick look at their specialty donuts convinced me that I needed to take a drive up there and sample their goods. This past weekend Tanya, Buddy and I made the journey. We had a good time and met some nice people along the way. [adrotate group=”1″]
