During a foggy winter morning in December of 2017 I decided to tackle California State Route 43. California State Route 43 ("CA 43") is a 98 mile long north/south State Highway traversing the center of San Joaquin Valley over much of the watershed of area that used to feed Tulare Lake. The Tule Fog was dense in places during the winter of 2017 which spiced up CA 43 enough to warrant a trip to it's south terminus. Part 1; a drive on California State Route 43 The north terminus of CA 43 is in the city of Selma in Fresno County at the junction of CA 99. I was heading south out of Fresno thus my starting point on CA 43 was in Selma. The Tule Fog was thick by the CA 99 freeway tends to clear it a little bit due to the heat of the vehicles. CA 43 really doesn't have a major town at it's southern terminus hence why Wasco is signed at 71 miles to the south instead of CA 119 at 98 miles. The Tule Fog was especially thick between Selma ...
Because every road has a story.
