Travel Through California

We have moved on from Southern California to about 60 miles north of Sacramento with stops in Bakersfield, Lemon Cove, Raymond, Valley Springs, and Colusa, California. We attempted to see Sequoia National Park but due to the heavy snowfall they have had and the fact that we didn't have snow chains, we only got about 15 miles into the park before we had to turn back.  Because of this, we decided to pass on Yosemite as many of the roads are closed due to record snowfall amounts.  We will come back and see Sequoia and Yosemite another time.

Our current plan is to go on to see the Redwoods and then travel up the coast of Oregon.
