Vacaville, CA/ San Fran



Arrived in Vacaville, CA Tuesday, June 8 at the Vineyard RV Park for a three night lay over. The weather was beautiful. We escaped the desert heat for a much appreciated low humidity cooler temperature environment. Wednesday we tripped into the outskirts of San Francisco to view the Golden Gate and then traversed Highway 1 north. The coast line up Highway 1 was fogging in so we were unable to get many good views of the coastline. We then headed back east to Napa for a nice lunch and cold beer for Charlotte and I at Stone Brewery. It was quite chilly so Phil and Casey opted for coffee instead. Believe it or not, for comfort we were forced to wear jackets. Wreck on I 80 rerouted us back to the campground thru some very twisty but scenic roadways. Pleasant evening was spent grilling some steaks and enjoying a little more beer and some wine.

Thursday found Charlotte and I chilling at the campground while Phil and Casey ventured out to the Jelly Belly Factory for a tour and ultimate purchase of those delicious and sugary morsels called jelly beans. 

Departed Friday morning for Klamath, CA up Highway 101.

more earthquake resistant. 


Off in the distance, Alcatraz.
