Today was the most beautiful day in Napa this year. The rain is gone for at least a week and it was sunny and warm. I went for a nice drive up Valley (that is a term the locals use) and stopped by the Grist Bale Mill just North of St. Helena. It is a California State Park and the site of a water powered mill built in 1846. The giant waterwheel is 36 ft high and powered my water from Mill Creek. It is a nice wooded park just west of Hwy 29 and a great place for a picnic of a local bottle of wine and goodies from Dean and Deluca which is right down the street. The park is also the site of the first church in the Napa Valley and the Pioneer Cemetery and has hiking trails.
