To Merced!

Early Saturday morning, Jason and I got in a plane and flew up to Sacramento.
We went to his parents' house, relieved them of their camping gear, and several
sets of wheels. We then toured around his old stomping grounds for a bit before
swinging south on CA-99 towards Merced with the intent of camping in Yosemite
for two days and getting to see Steph's new digs. Unfortunately, due to
slowness on our part, we didn't get to Merced until shortly after six. That
gave us enough time to get lost enough to notice that the town had distinct
sections: old grid on one side of a river, and curvy new nonsense on the other
side.
