Stay away from the Sierras.
Check out the tech session in Orangevale.
Or
How about a run up Hwy 29 through Napa Valley and on up to loop around Clear Lake? Vineyards, casinos, Taylors Refresher, Downtown Joe's, Napa Valley Brewery. Come back down 175 through Loch Lommond and Whipering Pines to Middletown south on 29 then right on 12 at Annadel State Park heading through Oakmont and Kenwood, cut over to 29 south then a left 121 to hook up with 12 and take it all the way back to Lodi.
Just a thought. :think:
