Seen in the CA delta

I thought I have seen everything in California in my 18 years here- mountains lakes, ocean, waves, redwoods, urban sprawl, homeless people, artichoke fields. Apparently not. I recently bought a boat in Isleton CA and I had never been out there. On my way out to first look at the boat, I was following my gps (in my car) when all of a sudden I crossed a bridge somewhere east of Benicia and suddenly ended up in Louisiana or Kentucky. All I can say about the delta is "wow." I never new this existed. I'm not saying its good or bad- Its just not California as I know it. There are levies where the water is 40 ft higher than the land on the other side (think Holland). There are reed marshes, there are tons of marinas, trailer parks, farmland, sloughs. It sees like a lot of boats come up here from the ocean to die. I am told the area is 'hopping' during the summer. The whole area that I have been exposed to is really funky to say the least.
I though I would use this thread to post some pictures of the area.
