Yesterday was spent traveling from San Diego to Oroville, California. I flew from San Diego to Sacramento, then drove an hour or so north of Sacramento to a little town called Oroville, with a population around 15,000. The terrain here is much different from San Diego. There I was right on the ocean and there are mountains all around. Here it is quite flat and brown. Lots of orchards and crops. It is definitely a farming area.
Yesterday afternoon I drove about 15 minutes out of town to the Oroville Dam, which turned the Feather River into a lake. I drove across the dam and back. Apparently I was just around the corner from the visitor's center which has a documentary about the area. I should be finished about 4 today, so I think I will drive back up there and check it out.
After many routine weeks of my usual travel routes, it has been fun this week to go somewhere different.
