This weekend I went out to the East Bay to hang with J&S. On Saturday, we drove out into the delta to take photographs. It was a beautiful day and though we didn't take a lot of photographs, here are a few worth sharing.

Our desitnation was Locke, CA, a Chinese settlement buillt up early in the 1900s. It's in some serious disrepair, but there appear to be efforts to improve the town and make it nice place to live and a worthwhile destination. The Library of Congress's website has a nice collection of material about the town gathered in their Historic American Buildings Survey section. The data document is worth reading and the pictures and diagrams of the town are interesting.

On the drive back, we stopped for ice cream in Walnut Grove and took some sunset pictures.
