Vista Ranch, Merced, CA

With the Siskyous in our rearview mirror, we drove for five hours on mostly level terrain, braving the trucks and heavily worn pavement.  We stopped at two gas stations along the way, paying $4.59 a gallon, California prices, making our way to Vista Ranch.

After arriving we bought a nice bottle of wine, sat in the sun for a while and made dinner.  We had delicious Beyond Burgers and pasta pea salad.

This was our fourth stay at Vista Ranch.  It seems that it's just a convenient stop for us when travelling through California.

We fell asleep to the sound of trains, as we've come to expect here in Merced.
