Arrived safely in Sacramento

We arrived around 4:30 pm today...left Eugene around 8:15.  With all the trees turning it really has been quite beautiful  driving down at this time.  We're now at the Vagabond Inn in Old Town.  Chose it for the outdoor pool but didn't realize they have outdoor corridors which I try to avoid.   So far, so good and we're on the top floor so noise shouldn't be a problem.  They have a shuttle service so went to buy a bottle of whiskey and the shuttle guy was great and we saw quite a bit of Sacramento which we really haven't seen.  We commented on some very cool old houses and apparently the district of Sacramento has bought a lot of this stuff to preserve the old look...Vancouver could take a page out of that book.  So, drinking Jim Beam and contemplating dinner.

We fill up the car at the next gas exit when we reach 3 bars so ended up in Cow Creek.  KInd of neat funny old place.  The "washroom" is a porta potty.




Ah yes...we're in the US of A.  This along with advertisements for children's Halloween events.
