Central California travel question

BobUnkefer · 10-09-2012, 09:23 PM

Need some help/input from my central California friends.....

My daughter's college team is riding against Fresno State the 1st weekend in February.

Starting to look at airfare.... for 150.00 (300. for 2 of us....) less i can get a San Jose rd trip over in and out of Fresno.
Google maps shows 160 miles/ 3 hour drive. I don't mind driving, just curious as to conditions that time of year, or is it a bad drive to begin with? Anyone with input?

appreciate the help,

Unk

San Jose is not a bad drive scenic to say the least what about Sacramento less traffic. I go up that way quite a bit Fresno Airport is very expensive.

Joe, San Jose looked closer, Sac be better?

san jose closer, sac better, probably end up being about the same time drive wise. i'd go to sac.

Thanks guys!

Just checked, drive time pretty close to same, airfare MUCH cheaper than SJ or Fresno.... Never woulda guessed Sac be a viable option... go figure.

Appreciate the feedback.

Sacramento....less traffic around the airport, right on I-5. Easier in and out of the airport.

It's a nice drive from Sacramento. Just be prepared for fog. It can get bad at times.
