COSUMNES RIVER PRESERVE.
Day 156 – Another sunny, breezy day, the high was 73 degrees. Every day we watch the parade of large RV’s leaving, and then an hour or two later a new parade of large RV’s arrives. Almost everyone here stays only one night; it’s a great stopover destination right off Interstate 5. You’ve got your gas stations, your wine tasting, and your fast food restaurants right by you. So convenient. Ha ha.
This morning we drove to Cosumnes River Preserve. This was a wonderful park with three hiking trails, no driving tour, a visitor’s interpretive center, and beautiful scenery. The walk that we took included a long boardwalk that meandered through the wetlands and right alongside the marsh where many different birds were going about their daily business. Flowers were blooming and the trees and grasses were brilliant green with the new spring growth. Just gorgeous.
When you are taking pictures of Ducks, you find that you spend lots of time waiting for them to show their faces since much of the time they have their heads underwater for feeding. What you get to see is DUCK BUTTS. Some of them have very pretty little feathered bottoms. Here’s a collection of today’s duck butts.
We had a late lunch at the RV, then did some prep work for dinner. We made a Mushroom Marinara Sauce, enough to last for days. Then we sat around trying to decide where to go next after our next stop, which is near Soulsbyville, CA where Rob’s grandparents used to live. He hasn’t been there since he was a kid.
We will be meandering north, that much we know, but there’s several destinations of interest and we can’t do them all. Weather is an important consideration since it’s still snowing in some places. Time will tell.
