Votes are in and it was a bust! Weather was horrid! Didn't see the sun until we were headed out of Canyon Creek. Nothing but RDF (that's rain, drizzle and fog for you folks from Upalong)! The heavy rain and cooler temperatures really put a damper on the sightseeing, which really was too bad as what we could see looked quite picturesque.
We did check off Arena #10 on the NHL list. We took in a game at the "Shark Tank", aka the HP Pavilion at San Jose. We were entertained by two good hockey teams. Holding on to a slim lead, the Sharks proved to be too much for the Capitals and Mr Ovechkin, winning 3-2.
After San Jose, we headed up towards Sacramento and the Napa Valley. The rain let up for an afternoon so we headed off to taste some of California's finest vino. Guess I should have been a little more vigilant in my research as I was not aware the Napa Valley is known for its great red wines. As Jim and I are white wine drinkers our selections were limited. 
Nevertheless we had a great afternoon, sampled some great wines and wandered around some beautiful gardens. It was nice to see green bushes and flowers after weeks in the desert.
Now it's "Wagons, Ho!" We're off to the Oregon Trail. Stay safe.
