The drive was 6 hours to Sacramento and 2 hours more to Chico. The drive was full of farms with all different kinds of fruits and vegetables where different animals grazed. Cows of every color, sheep, and even a lama. Hills with the most amazing color green you will ever see. 
Trees that go through seasons. Bright red and yellow leaves everywhere. As we got closer to Chico, the towns were very southern. So southern and redneck it was kind of scary. I don't ever want to share the road with a tractor. One of those towns where you don't want to be stuck alone after dark. Stay inside and lock the doors.Bidwell Park was next. The most amazing piece of nature ever.
River running between the trees. Hills all along one side. Dirt path leading right through. Runners and bicyclists passing by. Wood peckers pecking above our heads. Silence other than our foot steps along the gravel and nature.Utter peace.
