A couple weeks ago
I was in the East Bay and chose to drive home via the river route. That's a good bet any time of year but especially in Spring and Summer.
Highway 160 winds along the Sacramento along the tops of levees, passing at about treetop level past farms and through small towns and across a network of old iron drawbridges. It is a premier Harley ride, no question about it. Unfortunately I don't have a Harley and made do with my cheap half-plastic Ford semi-sports car with the rag top tucked away behind the seat.
There were a lot of places to stop along the way and take pictures but the one I want to post today is of an old warboat. I caught a glimpse of it between the eucalyptus trees as I sped by and quickly did a U-turn to pull over and climb down the embankment for a better look. It is the property of the
Sea Scouts of
Rio Vista but I think it's safe to say they are a little short in funding for ship restoration. I sent this picture to someone at
this web site where the boat's history is given, just so they would know.

You a ragtop man! Yay!
I have a slightly scarred (not from accidents, but from exposure to salt air) Chrysler Sebring convertible, painted black. The whole thing, while not in the same league as a silver 'Stang, says, nay, grumbles, "badass."
You've got a Tom Cruise, I have a Peter Coyote.
