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...
