Eureka

Leaving Lodi at the time we did was probably not our greatest idea. But we woke up and got ready, so that is what we did. After an hour and about 10 minutes, we had gone only 39 miles. Rush hour traffic into Sacramento!

We eventually broke free and made some progress. My camera, for the last few years, no longer sorts my pictures by date. It just lumps them all into 1980--with all the others it has put into 1980. So I do not know when we passed what place.

This is a rice paddy.

Sunflowers grew next to corn fields--we could have been in Kansas!

Interesting hillsides

Clear Lake is huge and very beautiful.

Two ladies rode by the place where we were eating lunch. I am not sure what their vehicles were called, but I found them especially interesting because they were passing the car below, and many more after this one! (Thanks to Susan who identified not only the two-wheeled jog car, but also the Haflinger horse!)

This vehicle is a participant is something called The Great Race (https://www.greatrace.com/news/2019-great-race-riverside-tacoma.html) an annual event, that this year is going from Riverside, California to Tacoma, Washington. Cary talked to this man and found out they will be spending tonight in Eureka--and so are we!

Beautiful drive, but very hard on the driver from Willets to Eureka. Lots of ups and downs. We were on the road eight hours and very glad to get to the campground.

After supper we did take a drive downtown to go look at the cars lined up. I just took a few pictures--too many to do it right.

There were 120, one from Japan--a Fairlady; a Parisienne, which is a Canadian Pontiac; a racecar from 1906(!); I wish I could remember more. It was really fun!

Cary is dozing in the recliner, so I will be winding this up for now. The story of the camp host trying to hook up our cable will have to wait for tomorrow!
