Early morning Isleton...established 1872, next to the Striped Bass and Sturgeon filled waters of the Sacramento river. (Wonder if Samuel Clemons ever hung out here...?)
A sleepy little town that makes Mayberry look metropolitan...
I get the fishing part of this sign...?
As I walked towards the bait shop I thought I heard the ghost of Sheriff Taylor whistling his going fishing song.
Very funny Bob.....
The local Steak house...
The local Hotel...
Crawdad and brews...
Every town needs a speed shop...evidently this one didn't catch on...for rent, as well as much of the commercial space in town...
The friend I helped move out of Oakland lucked out and found a place for rent here. Out of the Ghetto of Oakland and into a place that isn't too far from civilization...
Amazingly many of the original 20's fixtures have survived in the house, and were'nt buried under multi layers of paint...
Looks like a cool place. Small Town Amerika West.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm starting to like the river towns around here. Another friend of mine bought a little second home in Rio Vista. It's a bit larger than Isleton but not so big. He keeps a fishing boat there...gonna have to get a fishing licence this year.
