Awww Southern California traffic, reminds us of our commuter days & how...

Less traffic & on our way.

Crossing over the Sacramento River.

Entering Gridley, Ca. its a small town.

Arrived at Gridley Inn & RV Park.

Our own little yard.

Home for 3 days.


We left Simi Valley on May 9th & pointed the truck North. Our destination was Gold Country & the Ole 49er Highway. We encountered the usual Southern California traffic, not something that we miss doing. We drove some 271 miles to Santa Nella, Ca. & stopped in at the Santa Nella RV Park (we have stayed here before). Some spaces are small & the park gives you two side by sides to pull into, of course we had to pull in at an angle to fit. Its a nice park & pretty quite considering nearby traffic.

The next morning (Thursday) we drove around 169 miles to Gridley. We are staying at the Gridley Inn & RV Park, we actually were going to stay in the Travel Home Park (located in Yuba City) but the only space available was up against a fence, meaning our door would open up into the park street. So we decided not to stay, hence we ended up here in Gridley. This is a small but very nice park & pretty quiet, there is the occasional train (but we're use to hearing them & tend to tune them out).
