California Delta – Rio Vista, Locke, and Lake Solano

Even though the weather report promised rain, I headed out for the St. Patrick’s Day weekend for a three-day road trip to the California Delta. Here’s the vlog:

In case you don’t feel like watching the seven-minute video, here’s the map and some of the highlights: First night at my favorite Sandy Beach County Campground in Rio Vista on the Sacramento River. Gorgeous drive along the levees toward Sacramento, with a stop at the old Chinese town, Locke. A Starbucks stop in Sacramento, then west toward Lake Solano, another county park (only $20/night for seniors plus a dollar/dog). I stopped at a bakery in Winters, which is an adorable town, and purchased a yummy chocolate eclair. I spent a peaceful night in the woods with the peacocks by Lake Solano. Sunday morning I explored Winters, then headed home with a stop at the Costco in Vacaville to fill up on gas. A perfect trip. I highly recommend it.
