IMG 3833 Panorama mode. The lake is very calm for late in the morning because all the holiday revelers have taken their boats and jetskis out. IMG 3836 Last bit of fetch before we hit the road. Hoping a tired dog will do better on the long drive. IMG 3841 Time estimates for the straight Hwy 80 route and the detour along the back roads along the Sacramento river were the same before we departed, but this route looked worse and worse as we drove. Should have taken the scenic route. IMG 3842 Fewer gas taxes in these counties = cheaper prices. IMG 3843 Despite being cheap, they have a squeegee. Favorited! IMG 3844 Also coffee time in this town. Apple croissant is surprisingly palatable.
IMG 3845 Koba had his dinner and hydrated. Not a lot of shaded parking spaces here in the 95 degree heat. IMG 3846 The last missing socket also came loose from its hiding place IMG 3847 I swear this was all so people could gawk at some giant home made minion statues on a farm alongside the road. IMG 3848 This is usually bad because of people turning towards Napa. IMG 3849 Home by 4 and having a nice cool beverage. IMG 3850 Knucklehead has been scratching himself again.
IMG 3851 We missed the big days of fireworks in Oakland but the city thoughtfully saved a bunch for us. YouTube delivers with this soothing music for dogs that actually seemed to help.
