Welcome to Isleton...


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...

    1. Yeah, 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.
