Westgate County Park, Lodi, CA - April 20
Planning the drive to the Escapade in Chico meant either two long (for us) days of driving or three short days. We opted for three short days, and found this county park for our first stop. There are no hook-ups and the spaces are quite small; indeed, of the 18 sites, only 2 were big enough for our rig. The cg host told us that most long motorhomes camp in the parking lot (despite the "No Camping" signs). Our GPS showed us to be below sea level -- very possible since we were below a levee and had to climb up about 30 steps to get to the river, which was only about 10 feet above sea level. We heard on the news the next morning that the Lodi levee was recently designated as "dangerous" by CA, so we were happy to be leaving. This park is located in what is called "The Delta" of the Sacramento River. The waterways go from Sacramento to the Pacific, and several large cabin cruisers were docked at the park.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 11:10 PM
