Road Trippin' to the Oasis! - California Events

You might want to try to contact the folks at Munktiki, in the Monterey Bay area, to see if you can arrange a mini tour of their studio. They're really nice people, and its amazing to see the Tiki mugs in various stages of production. There's Casa De Fruita along hwy 152, a popular connector route from the 101 to the 5 fwy, south of San Jose. Its gotta be the largest roadside fruit stand in the world! Known for garlic and garlic products, fruit, vegetables, 2.99/lb pistachios, sauces, salsas, jams, etc. They feature a train ride, cafe, camp ground, wine tasting, zoo, just about anything they could cram into a roadside stop. These roadside stops are an endangered species, so visit if you get a chance. There's the Hanford Lemoore road sign along both the 5 fwy & the 99 fwy. It says Lemoore Hanford on the 5, I believe it says the opposite off the 99. Those are some of my usual tacky tourist stops. I'm sure you'll find lots of interesting things to check out on your drive down. I'll definitely join you for the LA/OC events! :tiki:
