Camping in Napa Valley

Sept 30 to Oct 7/14 
All week we have been camped within a few blocks of the main street in downtown Napa.   Not very often do we get a spot to camp where we can actually walk to restaurants and shops and the heart of a city or town.  As it turns out there are very few RV parks in the Sonoma or Napa counties.   Rumor has it that the wineries own many of the hotels, motels, lodges and inns.   And they don't really want RV parks in the area; they prefer a business scenario to have visitors pay $200 to $300 per night in their places vs $45 a night in a campground. 
our site at Napa Valley Expo - The RV park
 The Napa Expo RV Park is owned by the State of California and it is not very big but it really is a great spot.  Maybe about 50 sites and every night it is full or at least 90% full.  Definitely recommend this park to visit the area. 


On our way to Sonoma we stopped at a store the other day and Billy had a flock of wild chickens checking out the Harley.  
Rooster is not impressed with his lady hanging out with Billy !!!
We stopped at the Harley Davidson shop in Sonoma and then at the Home Depot where I found the perfect read for Billy if he is going to soothe the hens......
