Tha Fall Colors

Someday I'd like to visit the New England states to enjoy the Fall colors.  Until then, I can appreciate the colors I'm seeing daily in the Napa Valley. I snapped these pictures on my hike earlier today.

That string of yellow trees in the center of
the picture borders the Oakville Cross Roads


That's Skellenger Lane in the bottom area of the picture
Skellenger Lane is the closest cross street to
Piña Napa Valley on the Silverado Trail

Digger Pine & Buckeye trees on the left

Old barbed wire converging with older barbed wire

My cheap little camera does a fairly good job,

even taking short videos

and lastly, Yogi Bear enjoying life

A wet & soggy Napa Valley

The above picture was taken on the afternoon of Jan 15th, 2010
(click on these pictures to enlarge)
Just for fun, I thought I would mark several locations of
interest on the picture and challenge my readers to identify them



Relax! I’m going to give you the names of the locations, you just need to match the letters to numbers.


A) Beckstoffer Vineyards Headquarters
B) Cakebread Cellars
C) Caymus Vineyards
D) Corner of Skellenger & Conn Creek Rd
E) Former residence of well known author
F) Honig Winery
G) Old Keig barn
H) Piña Napa Valley
I) Robert Mondavi Winery
J) Round Pond Winery
K) Rubicon Estates
L) Rutherford


Even folks that are familiar with the area will have to use the process of elimination to get them all sorted out. But, hey, some of these are no-brainers, too!


Think you can do it? If so, email me your answers (Ranndy@PinaNapaValley.com) and I’ll note the correct responders when I post the answers a week from now. I’ll also provide some additional information on some of the locations (IE: the well known author).
