Betty and I did not stay in Locke for very long. It was an interesting place but really not much left to see. Our next stop was the Jelly Belly Factory. Before I talk about the Jelly Belly tour, I'd like to record some of the special experience that was new to me: We drove through central valley to get to Locke and then Jelly Belly Factory. Central Valley in CA is known for having heavy "Tule Fog" that settles close to the ground. It was no exception on that day, the tule fog was thick and heavy; driving was somewhat dangerous. Around Locke area, Betty pointed out to me that we were driving on the leeve on the Sacramento Delta that help to block flooding. However, during heavy rain, the area still could be flooded. Now, the Jelly Belly Factory. It was a place full of fun and sweet smell, I enjoyed it thoroughly. We watched the entire process of how the Jelly beans were made from start to finish; at each stage we were given samples of the partially finished jelly beans for tasting. Then at the end, we were given a bag of Jelly Belly to take home. The best part of the tour: it's free. I highly recommend that you take this tour when you get a chance to go to California.
