Pie in the Sky Pizza Mi Wuk Village

Never judge a book by it’s cover, and never judge a pizza parlor by it’s exterior until you’ve tasted the pizza inside. Pie in the Sky Pizzeria in Mi Wuk Village, California may be painted sunny yellow with Smurf blue trim, but the pizza inside is worth stopping for.The Pie in the Sky Pizzeria menu features pizza, salads, breads, hot sandwiches, and a variety of brews on
tap. A variety of specials cater to couples, families, and groups. The interior of Pie in the Sky looks like a cozy ski shack and a couple of retro arcade games are available for play.

My rule of thumb for ordering a Pie in the Sky pizza, is to order one size (or two)

Wooden Bridge at Knights Ferry

Built in 1864, the 330 foot bridge at Knights Ferry is the longest covered bridge in the western United States. Closed in 1980 to vehicles, it is still open for foot traffic.

There are nearby campsites, shaded picnic areas, and many access points to the Stanislaus river. The park is popular with hikers, bikers, rafters, and joggers. It also has a visitors center with interactive exhibits about the history and ecology of the area.

A fun rafting trip for most ages begins just downriver from the bridge. Bring a large water gun, because water wars happen all along the river.
