Gotta meet me in Merced at the Amtrak station there on a Saturday, bring the family. I'll take you down to Hanford, you guys can go over and get some ice cream at the creamery there, and then go back on either 715 at about 3 or 717(my train) at about 5...let me know...

Otherwise, if you want the full tour, you can stick with me all the way to Bakersfield and have lunch across the street at the Mexican place and then come back with me on 717 returning to Merced at around 6:45 or so.....
