Leaving the Sacramento River Delta on to San Jose

There were hundreds of birds and ducks at the Delta Shores RV park in Rio Vista.  They chirped and sang all day long-not annoying but just always there.  We noticed little blue birds and purple finches among the many crows and grackles.  Sonny played a round of golf while I hung out at the campsite.  The sunset was amazing.

The trip down US 101 to San Jose yesterday was pretty smooth.  Traffic wasn't too bad. We were able to shed the winter coats and roll the windows down.  It's very dry with 50% less rain than normal and fire danger high.  We set up camp at Thousand Trails in Morgan Hills 20 miles outside of San Jose in the pretty Santa Cruz mountain range.  Our friend, Alan, came out to check in on us. Once we got set up, we drove into San Jose to Alan's house for a steak dinner. He's a great cook and his dinner included fresh local artichokes.The drive into Alan's place was along a narrow, windy country road through the hills passing ranches and large homes. We saw deer and a big flock of turkeys along the way. Alan and Sonny are old Navy buddies from the 70s. 

This morning, the "campground turkeys" were checking out the campsites for a meal.



After breakfast, we found Costco in Gilroy to stock up a few frozen food items.  Sonny spent the afternoon playing golf while I wandered around Morgan Hill checking out the shops and enjoying the sunshiny warmth.
