Day 23 - Travel Day to Sacramento, CA

Today is a travel day so we are "on the road again". That's good because the campground for San Francisco/ Napa was the Sonoma County Fairgrounds-a substandard campground at best. There was no Wi-fi, no cable TV, only one antenna TV station (all news), and rustic bathrooms/ showers. In addition we rode a bus over an hour each way to get into the city.  Adventure Caravans could have (should have) found a better place.

To get to Sacramento we got on the 101 south and immediately hit heavy traffic-real stop and go. As soon as we turned onto Hwy 37 the traffic cleared.On the way we stopped at the "Jelly Belly Candy Company"



This was great fun. We took the factory tour and saw how they make millions of Jelly Bellys every day. It takes about a week to make each one.They showed us the process to make each one just like the others, If they are misshapen they call them Belly Flops and sell them at a reduced price.

They had some great pictures made from Jelly Bellys.


Ronald Reagan was a big fan of Jelly Bellys.


We found the Sacramento West KOA without any problem-Great, it has both WiFi and cable TV.
