While The Delta Isn’t What Floats My Boat . . . . Dennis Wyatt
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love California.
But I’d be lying to say that the Delta despite its vastness, uniqueness and being ground zero for California water politics that make up the topic of the lion’s share of my home bookshelves, is at the top of the charts.
I might think differently if I was into boating, waterskiing, fishing, bird watching, leisurely Sunday drives or exploring the nooks and crannies of old river settlements. I get why the mountains were calling John Muir whether they are snow-capped peaks in the Sierra or endless barren summits in the desert.
