| The big cities of Sacramento, Stockton, and Fresno deserve a closer look than they generally get from travelers. Ignore the cheesy parts, the junkyards, and the soul-less suburbs and focus on the tree-lined streets, with their rambling Craftsmans and Victorians. Explore the historic downtowns, "oldtowns," and museums, and sample some terrific ethnic food--particularly Mexican, Japanese, Thai, Italian, Greco-Armenian (I just made that unlikely term up), and Chinese. The Central Valley has a wild side, too. It's most apparent in the northern end, where sprawling wildlife refuges come alive with waterfowl in late fall and winter. Everybody should drive the length of Highway 99 at least once. Take a detour on Highway 45 north of Sacramento and stop in Princeton (of all places) to clean the dead bugs and heron crap off your windshield. The deli there has good sandwiches. Can't you just feel that funky heat; hear the ringing of the cicadas? Don't miss the Chinese ghost town of Locke. | ||
