What we did!

This is the blog of our 12th Trip to the U.S.A.
On this trip we arrived in March and spent a week with our friends Connie NA Jim at their Bluegrass Party, in Florida.
We then flew to Phoenix, where we collected our rig and then explored Southern Arizona, from the cowboy city of Tombstone in the East, to the desert City of Yuma in the West.
Travelling north along the course of the Colorado river we visited the London Bridge at Lake Havasu before exploring the Mojave Desert, including some more of Rout 66 and Calico Ghost Town.
Moving North West through California we shared in the CBA Bluegrass Campout in Turlock, before visiting Bodega Bay to follow The Birds. After sampling the delights of the Napa Valley we joined in The Fiddle Convention at Cloverdale before storing our rig and returning home after seeing some friends in San Leandro, near San Francisco.
This blog gives a day to day record of many of the things we did on this trip.

April 23rd - California Delta

From Turlock we have driven North and West to a stretch of countryside between Central Valley, Napa Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area, know as The Delta. It is the area where all the rivers that flow from the Sierra Nevada all come together to escape to the sea. It is a large area of marshes, lakes and waterways, very pleasant. It also has one of the largest windfarms I have ever seen, several hundred 80 metre turbines have been erected on the Montezuma Hills of the Delta region. We drove on through the Delta region to Valleja, a city on the north shore of the Bay Area, where we stopped to take in the view across the Bay, before setting up for the night in the local fairground.
