Sonora Trek v2019

As part of my hustle with the 2020 Census I was dispatched to the gold coast portion of California to the town of Sonora.  The trek covered approximately 2,500 miles in 10 days.  Sonora was the hub city but within a 200 miles radius I covered as far away to Fresno, Tollhouse, Madera, Groveland, Coulterville, LeGrange, Jamestown, Columbia and surrounding towns and villages.

As for accommodations during the trek I stayed at four hotels:  Gunn House Hotel (Sonora), Homestay Hilton (Fresno), Sonora Inn (Sonora) and Rodway Inn (Sonora)
