The forgotten part of California

This is the California not much frequented by tourists, yet this is also the region immortalized by John Steinbeck and William Saroyan. There is a great deal to see here, including the largest living things on earth (the Giant Sequoias), one of the richest agricultural areas in the world, the capital of the most diverse of the United States with many historic points including the fort which hailed the discovery of gold (Sacramento), cascading waterfalls over a beautiful valley (Yosemite), a great oil center which has in recent years become "Nashville West" (Bakersfield), and a growing city which is also the gateway to three national parks (Fresno). Bill Sanford obviously knows and loves this area.
