Second and last day of the overnight stay in Sacramento.

Holiday bus Gillig 2260 was operating routes 67 and 68, Cosumnes River College to Arden Fair Mall. As I was getting photos, I was sidetracked by Gillig 2229 in the RT 50th anniversary livery, so I followed it on its route 51 assignment. When I got both sides, I returned to the 67/68 runs of 2260. Both sides are covered. When I finished, I stopped at Breakfast Circus on Broadway for a BLT.

Intending to drive to Oakland as explained below, I was again diverted by Yolobus operating Orion VII OG buses. Got some shots of 729, my first of that coach, and then decided to track route 215 buses. Got MCI 5702 followed by 5701.

I went to Foothill Square area in Oakland because AC Transit was running its own holiday bus, Gillig 1586 on route 57. Followed and passed the coach to get shots in selected locations, most of them after dark with the 35mm f/1.8 lens.

As I drove home, I stopped by Black Bear Diner in Fremont for a blackened salmon dinner.

Nikon D5600 and Samsung Galaxy A54 5G cameras yielded 130 photos.
