August 2018 California - Sacramento


I drove from Carson City, NV to Sacramento, CA in mid August.  I spent a week in Sacramento at a great airbnb place where I had my own entrance to my room and overlooked a man-made lake used for ski instruction.  I did some exploring around Sacramento, CA and played golf.  Here are some pictures.

Downtown Sacramento – Old Sacramento (neat place with many shops and restaurants)







I played golf at The Ridge Golf Course in Auburn, CA.  I was paired up with a retired guy from Monterey, CA who was a really good player.  We had a great time, even though I shot a big number (it was a difficult course). 

  
I went on a day trip to Oakland to see the Oakland Athletics play at the Oakland Coliseum (also where the Oakland Raiders play – for now).  I got a great seat at the last minute on Stub Hub for the afternoon game against the Texas Rangers.  Anyone with a ticket can go to the Treehouse (a sports bar with some outdoor seating above the left field bleachers).  You can also buy a cheaper ticket that only gets you into the Treehouse.  Interesting concept!  




    
Next, I am taking a week break from my western US trip to visit Gatlinburg, TN.
