I have not been in that part of California, and so would not have been in Hanford.

Actually, one time, many years ago, I visited a friend in Madera, California, whom I had previously known at my church in San Diego, and took the bus from where I lived at the time to either Fresno or Madera. This was before I had my own car. The bus went along Highway 99 and stopped in several towns; however I see that Hanford is well off of Highway 99, so I don't think the bus stopped in Hanford. That being the case, I am almost certain I have never been in Hanford.

Incidentally the friend I visited, and his family, were (and presumably still are) fundamentalist Christians (or at least very strongly conservative), and I think I would have almost nothing in common with them now. I have not been in touch with them in many years. I think people of that persuasion are quite common in that part of California.

That does remind me I have still not yet been in places like Sequoia and Yosemite. Some time I will have to go there.
