Sacramento CA
Parking:
Sacramento 49r/Pilot I-80 x85
4 hours free. $15 for 24hrs, free with
75 gal fuel, or $50 purchase.
Access:
We like doing a loop, but be aware that
there is no sidewalk going north on El Centro Blvd to San Juan. The
road has a small shoulder, and a pot-hole infested grassy area on
the other side of a canal. Going south out of the truckstop, over
the bridge, there are good sidewalks all the way. Go past the river,
and turn left right at the entrance to Barandas Park (with the
baseball field).
