headed south on highway 101 and it was great timing as the commute traffic was done through Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park and Petaluma. We take 116 to Lakeville Highway (121 south), these are shortcuts to highway 37. They are beautiful drives by vineyards that were once fields of cows that were part of the many dairies in the area, now I only saw one dairy. 
This grand canopy of old huge Eucalyptus trees line a small part of the highway, they are stunning, but we noticed a sign about saving the trees, so it sounds like someone wants to remove them. I think that would be a very sad day if they do. 
So from highway 37 we head east through Vallejo and over the Napa River where it 
empties into the San Pablo Bay where the Mare Island Naval Station sits. I decided that I should take some pictures for those of you who have never been through here….I’ve been going over these roads since childhood and never think about taking pictures. We picked up highway 80 from 37 then took the exit heading for Martinez which is highway 780, then picked up 680 and we trundled over the Benecia Bridge and then got on Highway 4 heading east to Antioch.

park in the entire east bay! We got in at 1:15, a couple hours before the afternoon rush hours and traveled 138 miles. We have family and friends we have wanted to visit in this area where we grew up and this keeps us from having to drive great distances. It isn’t a beautiful RV park by any means, but it has all the hook-ups and seems quiet at night, we are away from the highway…we did hear a train in the distance…of course. During the 
day there is a truck driving school in the parking lot just on the other side of the fence in the picture, you can even see a truck out there. We don't plan on being around during the day so they shouldn't bother us too much. We are here for as long as it takes to see our friends and family, but not more than a week. With our Escapee discount it is costing us $17 a day, regular price is $20.

We had a great visit and great food as always!
Happy 4th Anniversary of Marriage to Michelle and Darel!
