California roadtrip

I'm heading to California the end of June for about a month, I'm puting the Harley in the back of my pickup and touring. The reason for the post is: I have seen over the years all the great photos of CA. swapmeets. Is there anything going on of interest to a Model A nut, swap-meets especially? I'll have the pickup to haul large Model A treasures. I'll be in the LA area until the 1st, San Jose next, and Gold Country after that -- but I'll go a long way for A parts (mostly late 31 Roadster, or?). Thanks in advance, E LaBrash
 
I don't know when the date is but Sacramento has a swap meet that is supposed to be good. Gold country can be fun-I remember seeing a 31 S/W just sitting by the road for sale and going 'ooooooo...I want that'

Another good swapmeet is in Chico, CA August 19th, put on by a couple of Model A clubs lots of good stuff there. As far as touring around the state Yosemite is a great place to visit the avatar was taken when I drove the phaeton through the park.
 
I think we all dream of going to a California Swap Meet, they sure have had plenty of magazine coverage over the years. The LA Roadster Show and swap meet have been on my "Bucket List" for all the years I've had one. Some day I'll get there.
 
I thought of another swapmeet, it is August 7th in Sacramento. It is called the Reno Swap Meet, as it started during Hot August nights, but they moved it to Sacramento about 4 years ago. It is huge!
