I was out in Fremont (south San Francisco bay area) anyway, so my wife joined me Thursday night, and by Saturday morning we were off in our Grand Caravan. California may be crowded, but it's not too far in any direction to beautiful natural resources and terrain.
We spent three nights in South Lake Tahoe and two nights in Mill Valley (near Muir Woods), seeing Mount Diablo, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, gambling in State Line, NV, Carson City, Suisin Valley, Wine Country, Napa Valley, Muir Woods, PCH (Hwy 1) -- Here are just some of the images that were captured.
