| Central pedestal and control shack of the I Street bridge. |
|
| Bridge operator comes out to watch us pass. |
 |
| People in small boats were also having fun. |
 |
| The view aft as the bridge begins to swivel back into position for cars and trains. |
 |
| This wakeboarder passed back and forth several times. |
 |
| We're not sure what this is, but rumor was it houses automatic river surveillance equipment. |
 |
| The bridge over the
American River (clear-water) as it joins the Sacramento River
(muddy-water). The fishing boats are anchored in place as the Sacramento River flows by. |
 |
| Restaurants and high life along the river. We were told this is a popular hangout for state politicians. |
 |
| Closer view of boats anchored along the docks. |
 |
| Two monster house boats. The lettering at mid ship on the first boat is "Life is Good." |
 |
| This monster speed boat left its docking spot at Crawdad's restaurant and slowly passed us. |
 |
| When everyone on
the Spirit of Sacramento was looking, they gunned their several hundred
horsepower engines and soon disappeared into the distance upriver. |
