The End 


Arrived to California - end of vacation - start of business 

After and uneventful night in Placerville I followed US-50 to it's endpoint in Sacramento. The road really did not end - just changed to I-80 without too much notice. I followed I-80 for a few miles and then turned back and noticed that at least there is a start-point for US-50, though



US-50 begins - 3073 miles to east cost


I did some extra side trips and drove about 4700 miles, though.

Before arriving to my hotel in Milpitas I stopped in Sacramento and walked around the old Sacramento area and visited the railway museum there. The museum was very nice but maybe too polished compared to the museum in Ely. The Sacramento museum has many more locomotives and cars on display but they are too shiny and surrounded with fancy lights and mirrors to look convincing. This one was outside of the main building in a constructed station area.

The next stop was Milpitas and end of vacation. I spend a few business days there but realized that I had not yet seen Pacific Ocean so I could not claim to had driven from coast to coast, yet. So after my work was done I took my car for one last drive and went over the mountains to see the Ocean.



It was fun as long as it lasted.
