Sonoma and Napa - wine country

The poor Hula Guy felt a little out of his league today in the very upmarket towns we visited in Sonoma and Napa counties (Healdsburg, Calistoga, St.Helena). There are over 3000 wineries in California and in this part of the state, there are neat grape vines growing everywhere. It's really beautiful.

Near the spa town of Calistoga, we visited a petrified redwood forest. Over 3 million years ago, Mt. Helena erupted and coated the trees with ash. The trees eventually turned to stone. More about that HERE. We also visited a geyser which spouts boiling water out of the earth every 40 minutes. More about that HERE.
