When we were at the Kings River Campground we made friends with several people, one couple in particular were great fun and asked us to dtop by thier place if we were passing. Although Sequoia is more or les the next valley down from Yosemite it is actually quicker to come back down to the Central Valley, go north and then back up into Yosemite, so this meant that we would be able to visit with Peter and Jan in Winton, near Merced. Driving down from Sequoia we left the great mountains and travelled through the yellow grassy foothills, then onto the heavily cultivated flat land of the Cnetral Valley. We joined I5, which travels the length of the Central Valley linking the many towns an cities there. After passing Merced we turned off and drove thorugh the fruit and nut orchards to Peter and Jan's house. They have a lovely house and garden on a crossroads in the middle of the orchards. After about an hour of manouvering we managed to get the trailer past the big eucalytus stress and onto their front lawn.
We had a lovely relaxing weekend with Peter and Jan, they have a great sense of humour and welcomed us without reservation. They have a lovely little 'summer house motel room' for visitors which was very well appointed. We got to jam some with them and eat together, on Saturday night we really pushed the boat out and went to Sizzlers in Merced. All too soon we had to move on, so that we could drive up to Yosemite on Sunday. We really had a great time with some lovely people.
