Calistoga, CA / July 9

We left Fortuna at 10 and arrived here in Calistoga at 3.    Took a little bit longer than we had anticipated because the roads had a common theme today.  See if you can guess





Did you guess lots of curvy, narrow, hilly roads with lots of big, big trees along the very narrow or non existent shoulders?   You are RIGHT!   Yikes I was on the edge of my seat but for the most part I did a good job of keeping my mouth shut.   Gary did an awesome job keeping us on the road!  He really has done a super job.

We are now in Napa County - otherwise known as Wine Country.  There are just one field of grapes after the other and wineries everywhere.   Too bad we aren't wine drinkers!    We are just hunkering down for the night.   It has rained off and on all day, which is wonderful.  Nothing heavy just a light sprinkling here and there.   No sunshine, very overcast and cool - just the way I love it.

Here are some pics of the grapes and the winery signs - maybe Katie will recognize some of the names.
