This week we moved to the California capital city of Sacramento. This is always a favorite stop for us but not because of it's plentiful RV parks...there are very few good places to stay in a city of this size, but for visiting family.
Can't say CalExpo RV Park is a "resort" RV park but it is well lit, clean and a safe place to stay for a month while Oregon and Washington warm up for us. You might look on the Internet and see many RV parks but they are mostly old trailer parks that are not equipped to handle big rigs. Our stay last year was for two weeks and for those two weeks we had rain, heavy rain...at least 10 of those days. This year, so far, the weather is beautiful.
The Jedediah Smith Memorial Bike Trail runs from the confluence of the American and Sacramento rivers to Folsom Lake, some 32 miles away and it is 50 feet from the rv park where we are staying.
Well groomed asphalt trails run on either side of the river at times with water views, wildlife and this seemingly "gold" drawbridge in downtown Sacramento.
I love that I have my own bench to take a break on...☺
Another Automobile museum to view? Yes of course...this one is in Sacramento and had quite a collection with different types of exhibits.
This limo was A.P.Giannini (founder of Bank of America) who never got a drivers license.
My brother's second Porsche looked exactly like this 912, I even had to look at the license plate to double check.
Custom made motorhome from the 1950's by a retired jet pilot...ja think?
Other than a Porsche, which I never got...this would be the second "wish" car on my short list of want to have's...1969 Boss 302.
Every auto museum should have a few Lambo's, Ferrari's. T-birds and Vets.
Indy and NASCAR examples.
Slingshot dragsters with quarter midgets in the background.
This was quite a eclectic collection of Motown and European metal. Here a 1966 427 Shelby Cobra sits with it's stretched body to allow the 7.0 liter engine to fit and a 5 million plus price tag.
This looks very much like the cartoon George Jetson family sedan.
The car came to be only two years after the cartoon which leads me to believe it was designed from the TV series.
!971 Mini Moki was meant to be Europeans answer to the military American Jeep but the small tires and low ground clearance doomed the vehicle.
The 1958 Fiat Multipla is a familiar backdrop in many movies such as the Bond series or the Pink Panther movies.
Our next RV....!

Say hello to Jerry for me.
I think there is a train museum in the area too.
