One difference is that the university is right dowtown, meaning there is a lot of student traffic; pedestrian and cycling. I've never seen so many bike racks in one area. Here's the style at Sierra Nevada Brewing-
They even have a repair station at the brewery-
Speaking of which, what a beautiful facility. It makes Firestone look like a garage brewing operation. The beer was yummy too. If you're ever in the area Gordon, we highly recommend it.
Unfortunately I tweaked my back something wicked about an hour before we left our house yesterday, and I can barely walk. So we didn't explore too much. One thing Chico is known for is beautiful murals. Just walking down the street you'll run into anything.
Or anybody. Sue ran into the Beatles and walked with them for a while.
I know, big whoop, right. The Beatles are sooo past their time, right Jenny?
Tomorrow is Lassen, so I'm icing my back anticipating some wonderful hiking.

ReplyDeleteWhat guide do you use for your RV Camping/Parking locations, so that you were able to find Corning at such a good price?
You know Scott, I could give you the name of our camping guide, but since you don't go anywhere anyway wouldn't be throwing good money after bad? However I can tell you that Susie found this on Google.
DeleteLooks like a lot of fun. I mean how can you not have fun at a brewery anyway? Oh, and yes hanging out with the Beatles and their music will never go out of style. Take care of your back Dave!
DeleteChico is where my brother lives (actually in one of their canyon drives behind the city), so Sierra Nevada is always a must do for us.
ReplyDelete---Scott--
A little over 24 hours on vacation and no new hat? Who is wrting this blog and what have you done with Dave?
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd wait till we get to Montana, so I can buy a real dental floss Tycoon hat.

ReplyDeleteSorry about your back Dave! I hope it heals quickly! Lassen has some beautiful hiking!
ReplyDeleteDoes a real dental floss Tycoon hat include a pair of (strictly commercial) zircon encrusted tweezers?
ReplyDeleteHi Dave and Sue, now I know why you spent two nights in toasty Corning. It's a good place to rest your back and eat a lot of olives, which are low calories, on account of your diet. Have fun escaping the heat and relaxing at Lassen NP! It's hot AND smokey in Atascadero.
ReplyDeletePretty bad air up here. I've been saying pretty close to home and not far from our new air purifier. It really seems to help by the way.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your back...thats a bummer for sure!

ReplyDeleteSorry, Dave. Even if Firestone looks like a garage operation, it still kicks Sierra Nevada's butt. Hey, since you were in Chico, did you see this sign:

We did not see that sign. But it doesn't matter anyway, because now I'm on coca leaf tea. Weed, it's so 1970s.
DeleteBe careful mom, that last Beatle is trying to grab your purse :)
