Day 1 I departed Los Gatos solo at about 10:30AM to meet the group in Visalia in the evening. I headed out through Livermore and kept going east to Coulterville. There I headed south through the Sierra foothills down highway 49 through the "Little Dragon" which winds its way down one side of the gorge of the Merced River and up the other side. I had lunch at one of my favorite burger joints, Happy Burger, in Mariposa. A neat place whose walls are covered in old album covers. Most are pretty tacky. I'm sorry to say I've owned some of those! Continued to Visalia on highways and arrived about 5:30. A short day of 274 miles. Day 1 GPS data
