A Tribute to a Transmission Tower?
The tiny town of Walnut Grove sits halfway between the major cities of Sacramento and Stockton, in the California Delta. Over the decades many television stations have sited towers near the town, so much so that the Walnut Grove Rotary club put up a nice sign board to commerate them and explain them to visitors. If you can't read the type, the shortest tower is 1549 feet, well above the height of the Empire state Building, the Eiffel Tower, and the Statute of Liberty. It's just one of many unusual things you'll see while going through this country. On Monday I drove through the Delta to go to Rio Vista, picking up medicine for my cat Montel, from my long time veterinarian. Below is a typical Delta slough, this one on Ryer Island. It is a beautiful place.
