KOA, W. Sacramento, CA, to KOA, Coarsegold, CA:  Left this morning at around 9:30 and arrived in Coarsegold at 2:30.  Took Rt. 99 south through the San Joaquin Valley to Madera and then took Rt. 145 east to Rt. 41 north.  Back in the golden hills with the Sierra Nevada mountains looming in the distance.  It’s really pretty here in the foothills.  In places the hills are covered with these low, bushy plants in pastel shades of pinks and mauves.  Very different and quite pretty.  After getting set up we sat outside reading for a while.  94 here in Coarsegold.  We’re just south of Yosemite.
