All right, almost ready. I have the rental car reserved and hotel. Staying at Elk Grove off of the 5. Will check out around 6am (hopefully I can get up early), and head south towards Isleton. I may not head all the way to Isleton or Rio Vista, depending on if I can get out by 6am, then chase it up along the River along 160/River Rd. For sure I can catch it at Walnut Grove, Paintersville/Courtland, and Freeport (and of course Old Town Sacramento). If any changes to the schedule, please let us know. If you see a guy and his wife filming, that's us. I hope the rain doesn't get too much in the way, expecting some rain that weekend.
Even if all else fails (ie, goes up the Deep Water Channel or changes/cancellations), I am still making the trip. This part of California looks really neat to explore.
If you are all on the ship, be sure to check out the bridges as they open. It is rare to see these bridges open.
One more thing about Stockton....It isn't any more dangerous than other major cities. The usual common sense rules apply everywhere...stay out of sketchy areas, don't drive through unfamiliar neighborhoods, don't walk alone late at night, don't carry expensive cameras/jewelry/watches, etc. Use common sense like any other big urban city.
