We did scout out several other RV parks in the area and none could come close to the amenities we were spoiled with in the McMinnville park. All of these are similar with gravel sites (read mud) uneven parking, and older facilities. Within a 30 mile radius of Placerville there wasn't one that was worth trading for the one here, so we will try to stay put if the manager can get us into a monthly slot ... if not we'll be forced to go elsewhere in a week or so. But back to the serious stuff ...

So much wine and so little time!!

Actually, for the next segment of the Great Adventure, my Brother Bill and his wife Dee are our hosts and this is their wine storage warehouse in El Dorado County, near Placerville. As Bill says, here is a football field of wine; a full 300 feet of it, 40,000 cases+/- a few, and a whole pile of barrels all living in climate controlled comfort. Let's see ... 40,000 cases divided by 365 days a year ... at least a couple of years to drink it I'd say.

And after another fine (rain free) day, the California sun sets over the vines on Sunday, where we finished up tasting some good local vintners' products.
