May 16 Porterville to Sacramento

We headed north to Sacramento in the morning About a 4 hour trip. Had a bit of a problem finding the freeway with the GPS but soon sorted things out.                                                    
Just north of Merced we were heard and felt a loud bang on the side of the truck, sounded like we had been hit by a large rock. I pulled over and found a big orange splotch on the drivers door. We had been shot by a paintball from the other lane of the freeway. Glad it did't hit the window, it was startling enough on the door. Also glad it didn't leave a dent. They also hit the side of the trailer.
We stopped in Modesto for groceries and gas. On leaving the gas station I realized I had left my clip-on sunglasses on top of the pump. Of course we are on a divided highway and have to find a place to turn around. Luckily they were still there when we got back. Just something else to add to the day.

We followed our trusty GPS to our campsite.Glad to have it with all of the clover leafs in this city,never would have got there otherwise.

We setup,gave Mickey a run, then headed to my nephew, Scott and his wife Sharons place 20 miles to east of us. They have a beautiful house,also with a pool. They fed us dinner and we had a nice visit with them and their daughters, Yumi and Christina.
Tomorrow we head north again
