Neither one of us was up before 8 o’clock this morning, maybe because I was awake half the night listening to the awning flapping in the wind, and Mike was up at 4 o’clock taking down the sunscreen and putting the awning away. It was super windy most of the night and it has been most of today too – I guess that happens when you’re camping in a canyon!
After our lie in, we got showered and headed into Winters to get online and check out what happened in the world over night. Winters is a cute little town with a nice little park in the middle of it that had benches where we could sit and get online. It seems that a lot of people from our campground head over to Winters to check email and such on a regular basis. On such person sat next to us and in the space of five minutes must have asked 100 questions – seriously even I don’t ask that many!

We got all caught up on the news before heading off to Davis, which is about a half-hours drive from Winters. Davis is a college town but since school is already done for this year the city wasn’t too crowded. We had intended to visit The City of Davis Wetlands, which is a 400-acre environment that attracts more than 80 species of wildlife; what is unusual about it though is that it depends on storm water and treated wastewater runoff for its water source. I was looking forward to bird spotting, but when we got there the gate was closed and locked. It was supposed to be open but it wasn’t for some reason, so I didn’t get to see any wildlife. Never mind.
From Davis we headed south to Vacaville and visited Camping World to get some new bumper ends to replace the one we lost yesterday and then we did some food shopping since there’s not much close to the park.

Mike: Yeah, a Trader Joe's!
