Alhambra Valley Road Ride November 27, 2016
I went for a short ride on Alhambra Valley Road Sunday. I had about an hour so I did some exploring down side roads that I had never been on.

Delta Ferry Ride November 4, 2016
I heard about two Ferries in the California Delta the other day so I took a Friday ride to check them out.
Both are on California State Route 12.
The first one you come to is the J Mack.
The J-Mack Ferry crosses Steamboat Slough in the Sacramento Delta, connecting Grand Island to East Ryer Island; about a 400-foot three-minute ride.
The second one is the Real McCoy II.
It provides service to Ryer Island residents and its visitors by crossing the Cache Slough to Rio Vista. The Real McCoy II is 88-feet long by 38-feet wide. It is powered by a hydraulic propulsion system, with 360 degree propellers for steering. The hull’s capacity is 80,000 pounds, and can carry up to eight vehicles.
