Climb Aboard Real Steam Engines for Free at the California State Railroad Museum’s Old Sacramento Neighbor
Some places look like just another old brick building until you step inside and hear the hiss of history. I walked in expecting a quick look at a few dusty engines and walked out hours later, hungry for lunch and still buzzing about giant locomotives I had actually climbed into.

He's crossed the US on foot 3 times. Meet Sacramento's real deal Forrest Gump
Dennis Godby estimates he’s heard quips related to the 1994 film “Forrest Gump” perhaps 1,000 times. The title character of that film runs across the United States more than once. Godby, a 70-year-old naturopathic doctor who lives in West Sacramento, likes to tell people that while “Forrest Gump” was a movie, he’s the real deal. In September, Godby finished a roughly 3,450-mile walk that he made across the U.S. in five stages over five years. It was only his latest adventure. In 1978, Godby ran about 1,420 miles, from Corvallis, Oregon, to near Calgary. He ran across the U.S. in the mid-1980s and again in 2011, the second time with his two sons and his nephew. On a recent day, Godby said he felt like he could immediately start walking from Seattle, where he finished his recent cross-country walk, to Sacramento. “For the first few weeks when I get back every year, I really miss it,” Godby said during an interview at his office in midtown Sacramento. “Because I’m back to, a lot of times, the mundane.
