Day 37 July 19 2010

This was our driving day. We just spent the night and then left for Petaluma, Calif. Our base to the Bay area. We are staying at a KOA and it is suppose to be a super one. After setting up we went into explore the town and it is really a neat one. They have preserved so many of their buildings and homes, instead of tearing down for more modern ones. Some of the banks have become seed stores, antique stores and eateries. Took lots of pics and then came back to camp.


This pic was in the lobby of the camp ground where we stayed. Cypress Ave. ?? Are we close to home ?

Lots of Olive Trees. Where is Dean Parker?
