So Fun! Their shop…read moreis easy to find near the traffic circle coming into/out of the main thoroughfare not far from the main plaza. (Tip about parking.... don't park in the main "plaza" area as they have 3 hour limits and will ticket you. There are areas just off the main part of town that have free parking as well as paid parking lots. Definitely cheaper than the parking ticket we heard could be $200.) Chris set us up with bikes easily and quickly and then Shannon took us out on a lovely 15 mile-ish ride with 2 winery stops - Mounts and Mill Creek as well as a brief stop at the Dry Creek market in case you need to use the bathroom or grab a snack. (Our tour included Big John sandwiches, so we were set there. But if you wanted a sweet treat, the Dry Creek market had all kinds of goodies.) As it was a Friday morning, the roads were not super congested (thankfully) so we didn't have to deal with a lot of cars. On the way back, we encountered more cars but still not too bad. I would not want to do this on a weekend as I'm not super comfortable riding with cars zooming past. The ebikes were great and handled smoothly. I'm a newbie for the most part as this was my second time on an ebike and it was easy to use. So if you've not tried it yet, I highly recommend it. I mean..... As long as you know how to ride a normal bike that is. The helmets come with built in speakers and a microphone so you can talk to each other and listen to Shannon as she shares local tidbits. The bikes have a bag that you can put your water bottle in and your purse. And if you buy any wine at the wineries, Shannon can carry a couple bottles or Chris will go get them and bring them back to the shop. If you need to buy a travel wine box, they sell those too at the shop. As I'm traveling on Alaska, I get to check a free case of wine. Woohoo! You don't have to take a tour with them. You can just rent ebikes from them for the day if you want. But I like the tour because they know the area, the locals and you don't have to think of where to go. Plus, they picked 2 fantastic wineries that I would not have found on our own. Thank you, Shannon for a great day! Thank you, Chris for getting our wine back to the shop!

It is so beautiful to ride through the vineyards on a bike, feeling like you are part of nature and what grows and thrives around us.

Lunch, the e-bikes and the selection of wineries to visit were perfect. We plan to bring family back for this experience the next time we are here. Thank you for a great experience!

This park was badly burned when we went years ago and with the most recent closure, it is finally open (2024) but it is still a bit like a tree graveyard. Unfortunately. Challenging hike, beautiful views, I love that it can connect to Gunsight rock, which is an awesome spot to picnic and have a break. On a clear day you can see all of the bay! You can park off Pythian as mentioned or get to it by Sugar Loaf. Parking off Pythian is part of the regional parks but if you access by Sugarloaf you'll need to park via their pass or a state pass for parking.

It was a hot day, but on the cool river it felt great. There are a few beach areas to stop with a picnic, but lots of the shore area has plants so we ended up just stopping in a shady area and eating on the water.

After a brutal day of work (BOOOOOOOO!!) I decided to treat myself to some retail therapy (YAAAAAASSSS!!). And, I'm so glad I did! I certainly left with my hands full and a smile on my face. Newly exposed to shore crabbing, I couldn't wait to get some crabbing gear. I wanted to shop n support local so I gave North Bay Fishing Tackle a visit. I was kindly greeted as soon as I walked in and was asked if there was anything I needed help with (love that). I got straight to the point and I was guided to their combo rod n reel for crabbing. Not only was it a combo rod n real, but it also included a crab snare and fishing line for a really, really reasonable price. I can't forget to mention that the line was already spooled on the reel. Internally, my jaw dropped to the floor, and my internal dialogue screamed, "TAKE MY MONEY!" The icing on top... two super cool dudes that were happy to assist and they have a store pet fish, Salmon Roe (I also hope I got that right). Forget those big named stores for your fishing supplies and support local! You won't regret it!
