Off to Napa this morning! We travelled the scenic route along
a lake. It is quite sad to see how badly the economic downturn has affected the
rural areas. So many shops and houses boarded up with “for sale” signs.
The
lake was pretty, and we travelled over a mountain range where we came around a
corner to find a line of small flares along the centre line of the road. Around
another corner and there was an accident, with the fire trucks and cops – looks
like the emergency services people put out flares to warn of something ahead.
Good idea! Into the Napa Valley and driving through the vineyards and lovely
little towns. We resisted the temptation to stop and carried on to Napa and the
RV Park.
Parked up, got the scooter off and headed to the visitors centre for
all the brochures etc. We bought a coffee and sat and read and planned our next
few days. There are hundreds of wineries in the area so you have to be prepared!
We are going to try for some wineries with tours and interesting wine / food
pairings. Then back to the RV for some more strategizing and an early night.
Big day tomorrow! We heard from the motorcyclist we rescued – broken collarbone,
3 broken ribs, punctured lung and concussion. He was transferred to a bigger
hospital where they are doing tests on his heart to make sure he hasn’t damaged
it. Poor guy.
