Cruisin’ down the 101 it’s ‘bout that time – to bring up how wrong it is for a bar in Crescent City, California to have the Confederate Battle Flag painted on it. Among the glorious redwoods, we traveled through Northern California towards Napa skirting the Pacific Coast most of the way. Bountiful homeless, bedraggled hitchhikers, and beautiful vineyards border the road on our journey. A nicked up windshield and traffic proved insurmountable to reaching our desired goal of a winery tour at the O’brien Estate. Wait – what’s that? Pardon the interruption to our regularly scheduled broadcast. I spy bikers wearing their colors, the Rough Riders, and bandanas riding through wine country. One is brandishing a whip and has the Iron Cross as his taillight! Have we entered the Twilight Zone today? No, it’s just California. Finally reaching Napa, we relax in our wonderful hotel overlooking the river that runs through downtown Napa. We dined at a fantastic restaurant in the evening partaking of French cheeses, filet, and strawberry shortbread for desert. Yum! Next port of call? Yosemite.
