I found a new road!

[gridlore]

One of the joys of my job is discovering new ways to get from point A to point B. The days I do the Central Valley are especially good for this, since there are so many State Routes and county roads criss-crossing the area. Today, I had to go from Modesto to Oakdale. The obvious way was to go up Hwy 99 to 120 East and follow it all the way out. However, I remembered my boss telling me that I could take McHenry (SR 108) up to Escalon when I needed to get to a particular client in Manteca. I stopped and bought a map and found that 108 actually veers off to the east and takes me right to SR 120 in downtown Oakdale, about a mile or so from my stop!

Nice enough drive.

I figured I saved about 25 minutes doing that.
