Day on the Delta

 

St. Joseph in Rio Vista

Arrived in Rio Vista around 10am headed for Sacramento, approximately 40 miles North, less than an hour away. I arrived at 4pm. In between I drove on a lot of levees, North to Clarksburg, South to Isleton and North again listening to Delta Blues and on to Sacramento. There is something about driving on rural roads that cleans the mind, very relaxing. Few cars, interesting landscape, the movement of life. Then around the corner on the horizon the march of civilization can be seen or what passes for civilization these days, tract homes moving South from Sacramento.
