Yosemite Blvd, Modesto

Yosemite Blvd. is yet another street in Modesto that is rather run down, with lots of one story residenses, gas stations, and carpet stores along the way. However, if you are willing to hang in there and drive a few miles, you will come upon a nicer, tree-lined section. We were desparate for something to do in Modesto, and thought we would check out the Missasou Winery. Unfortunately, the winery is not open to the public and we felt pretty stupid for just assuming they offered tours. It taught us to call ahead from now on.

This is an old road, before the interstate was built this was how people got from the foothills down to San Francisco. Now there not much use for it outside normal every day use as a main street. Theres a big park on S. Santa Rosa Ave. & Yosemite blvd, you can see the parking and some of the tree from it off on the side of the road. Further east theres a lot of little stores and whole in the wall food joints. If you keep headed east on Yosemite blvd. theres not much past Santa Fe Ave. till you hit the town of Waterford.
