Return to the Double Diamonds: A Morning at Stockton Diamonds

[@garykcs5532]

As part of the legendary North Cal group, I want to say that was an outstanding trip we had a blast at the diamond we also had a blast at calaway. It's always an honor to have you with us to make these videos and be on the trip with us. We know you moved out of state and we can't wait to get together with you soon for another outstanding trip. Keep up the great videos and we'll talk to you soon. Gary

Always great to railfan with you and the crew! Had a blast on that trip. Can't wait to see what kind of railfanning adventures the future holds. Take care Brother!

Nice video Travis, great catches too. Sure were a lot of tents and RVs parked along the streets, seems to be out of control in CA these days. - Steve

Yeah, Stockton has gotten to be pretty bad. Probably the nastiest place I've seen which is a shame considering I've been told it used to be a beautiful city not that long ago.

@@TrainTrackTrav Sadly, half of CA is becoming the same way.

Hey Travis, it’s Bonham and not sure if you’ll see this in time but I’ll be in Chesterton today (8/31) from about 4pm until Monday afternoon. It’ll be great to meet you there again! Hope you’re doing well.

Glad to see this sort of content. I'm always trying to go there, but dont really have any plans on how to approach this location. Are there tips you could give me when I do plan on going to the diamond?

[@TrainTrackTrav]

So Stockton is actually a really bad town. Crime in broad daylight, drugs and homeless everywhere, and trash all over the place. That being said, I'd recomend NOT going by yourself. Go with at least a couple other people, and just to be safe, make sure somebody in the group has a pocket knife or something along those lines. Oh, and don't talk to the locals. There were six of us when we went with one in the group packing. Not trying to be a downer but it is seriously a place where you need to be careful. If you do go with friends, as long as y'all keep to yourselves, you'll be fine.
