DAY THREE AT WALNUT GROVE

 We were all set to leave this morning until we talked with Dan and Chris, our neighbors on the dock, who have been coming to the delta for years.  They recommended a dingy ride back into the maze of sloughs just east of town.  It was one of their favorite places in the delta.  Sounded like fun to us so, as Larry Nelson says, "Why leave fun to find fun?" 

Turned out to be one of our favorite places too. 

One of the most popular types of boat here is the house boat.  People drive them back into the sloughs and set up house for weeks or months.  They rent spots along the banks from the land owners, who often build walkways to shore along with picnic areas complete with tables, barbies and in one we saw, swings.  There are also paths leading from the sloughs to nearby bars and restaurants.  Some of the longer paths have benches along the way, provided by farmers, with the polite request that the walkers refrain from picking their crops. 

Quite a neat way to spend a summer.
