The Napa Valley Opera House is a theatre in Napa, California, USA which opened on February 13, 1880 with a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore. At the time, the town had a population of 5,000 people. Its original owner was George Crowey and the building was designed in the Italianate architecture style. Newsom and Newsom, renown builder architects of the 19th century and the designers and builders of the Carson Mansion in Eureka, California, began construction of the theater in 1879.
During the height of vaudeville, the theatre flourished with the presentation of music and variety acts. In 1905 Jack London read from the stage. The facility was closed in 1914 due to damage from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the decline of vaudeville, and the advent of film. During the following fifty years the building was used for a variety of commercial purposes, and although it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, it was not until 1985 that a non-profit group was set up to restore the theatre.
In 1997 Robert and Margrit Mondavi issued challenge grant of $2.2 million to spur the theatre's reconstrucion and in June 2002 jazz singer Dianne Reeves reopened the theatre with the first performance in 88 years. The remodeled facility has seating for an audience of 500, modern lighting and sound systems, and an orchestra pit large enough for 40 musicians.
The venue now hosts several headline entertainment acts every month including plays, musical performances and dance.

Napa River Ecological Reserve
Napa Valley CA
~9.19 miles from Napa city center
Hotels Close to Napa River Ecological Reserve
A very special place lies within the wine-growing region of the Napa Valley. Surrounded by vineyards, the 73-acre Napa River Ecological Reserve (NRER) retains a remnant of riparian forest, with both an ecological and historical perspective. Just east of the town of Yountville and minutes from the Central Coast Region office, NRER is the last sizable section of riparian vegetation left in the Napa Valley and provides habitat for approximately 150 species of birds, numerous butterflies and various mammals. It also supports a diversified plant community of 238 plants, including the federal and state endangered Sebastopol meadowfoam (Limnanthes vinculans).
A human community of private and public owners gives NRER a one-of-a-kind story. Its riverine components brought it statewide attention, and the Wildlife Conservation Board purchased the Napa River Ecological Reserve in 1976. Since more than 90 percent of California riparian habitat has disappeared, the Fish and Game Commission gave it ecological reserve status to protect these plant communities. NRER has a long human history, dating from when the native Wappo tribe used it as a hunting and gathering area. Later, these riverside woodlands became part of George C. Yount's Mexican land grant, "Caymus Rancho" in 1836. The present location of the Yountville Cross Road, the southern boundary of NRER, also served as the southern perimeter of Yount's 11,900-acre holding. During the years 1858 through 1879, annual church gatherings took place with an estimated 4,000 people in attendance, within an open grassy area known as the "Yountville Campgrounds." These participants brought cattle, chickens, sheep and other livestock to sustain their stay. Many brought their own camping equipment; those who didn't borrowed materials for tent cabins from local merchants. The last organized religious gathering took place in 1974, while the property was still in private ownership. That gathering site is located in the interior portion of NRER, just off the trail where you can find a small bench facing the area.
Instead of grazing cattle and campfires, resident acorn woodpeckers swoop from oak to oak, nesting communally or defending territory. Follow them with your eyes as they fly to "granary trees." These are storage places, usually within snags or dead limbs in which the woodpeckers have drilled holes and placed their collected acorns. At times, the acorns themselves may attract predatory insects that offer opportunistic foraging by the birds. Other species like the Stellar's and western scrub jays bury acorns in the fertile soil litter. When these acorns go unretrieved, the birds' benign neglect is NRER's gain: the acorns grow long tap roots, generating future oak trees. Another avian seed collector, the white-breasted nuthatch, caches seeds within the oak's rough bark and branches. Its sharp, curved claws help it move about the tree and around limbs, challenging gravity as it searches for food. Overall, the oaks provide many elements critical to NRER's aerial inhabitants.
Hosting resident, wintering and fall migrant species, NRER is well known to birders from as far away as Europe. The warm summer months typically attract locals with the cooler temperatures vegetation and hydrology provide. The Napa River flows through the area, supplemented by Conn and Rector creeks. Conn Creek was dammed to create Lake Hennessey, which is part of City of Napa's water supply. By late summer, it typically does not have visible flows but does support various species of willow trees that may reveal a Wilson's warbler, or Annas' and Allen's hummingbirds in the spring.
Large valley and coast live oaks and California bay trees dominate NRER. Some valley oaks have been aged between 250 to 280 years. Many are mantled with grayish-green lace lichens, which are not actually plants but a symbiotic combination of fungus and algae. Several species of willow including sandbar, polished and arroyo, are found along the banks and provide important habitat for insects, birds and necessary shade elements for fish. Other trees include white alder, Fremont's cottonwood and Oregon ash. Wild rose, common snowberry, Santa Barbara sedge, poison oak and both native and non-native blackberries primarily compose the understory. Large, twisting native grapevines (Vitis californica) wrap sinuously around the larger trees.
The word "riparian" alone cannot describe the diversity of the Napa River Ecological Reserve. This riparian habitat ranges from oak woodland, grassland and swale-type habitats. Given the structure and ecological aspects of riparian vegetation it's no wonder that approximately 70 species of birds nest within NRER including the yellow-breasted chat, a Department of Fish and Game (DFG) "Species of Special Concern." The area is accessible during late spring, summer and fall seasons. With high seasonal rainfall, the river may rise and inundate NRER's interior during the winter. It is a natural cycle, given the vegetation is well adapted to flooding and gives NRER a well deserved rest. At times, during El Niño years, the river has breached its western levee, imprinting a high-water mark evident within the lower canopy.
NRER remains a place where communities converge. It draws a large following in terms of its public and wildlife use. Although owned and managed by the DFG, NRER has welcomed assistance from public agencies, non-profit organizations and private citizens. Management activities focus primarily on habitat conservation, exotic vegetation control and managing public use. Through a cooperative agreement, Napa County Public Works helps with the maintenance of the area by picking up accumulated trash within the small parking lot area and provides assistance with special projects. It remains the responsibility of visitors to pack out what they pack in. In 1989, Napa's Jared Young Boy Scout Troop built a footbridge to help the public access NRER's interior portion. A small oak restoration project receives the support of local school children, while educating them about conservation and the importance of land stewardship. Recently, a kiosk was installed to help educate the area's visitors about its unique resources. The project was funded by a cooperative federal grant through "Partnerships for Wildlife," a three-party grant program with participation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and DFG. The local Napa-Solano Audubon Chapter helped fund the project as well as produce brochures on NRER's plants, birds and butterflies with a local grant. (The various brochures are available from DFG's Central Coast Regional office or may be found on-site in limited quantities.) They also have been instrumental in re-establishing the one-mile interpretive loop trail and its companion trail guide. The pedestrian trail is maintained annually by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and Department of Corrections inmate fire crews.
Whether you are birdwatching, hiking, fishing or just appreciating a piece of local history, the Napa River Ecological Reserve is a worthwhile visit. NRER continues to provide an opportunity to showcase the state's overall natural diversity, and to educate visitors about the importance of riparian habitats.

Hotels Close to Six Flags Marine World (Discovery Kingdom)
Six Flags Marine world is a unique thrill ride amusement park mixed with an aquarium and zoo. It is located 30 miles northeast of San Francisco in Vallejo. The officials at Six Flags Marine World describe their park as a one of a kind amusement park, wildlife park and oceanarium. Offering extreme thrills, popular appeal with Loony Toons cartoon shows and educational displays and exhibits as well as many children's rides, we consider this park one of the best kids vacations north of San Francisco. But look at the expressions on adults' faces and you'll quickly discover that the experiences of meeting and touching animals can bring out the child in us all.
Thrills! X is the world's first 4th dimensional roller coaster. Riders spin independently 360 degrees forward and backward on a separate axis, perched on the edge of a 20-foot wide wing-shaped vehicle that provides 2.5 minutes of thrills with a 200-foot climb facing skyward before flipping over headfirst, face down, for a a near vertical 89 degree angled plummet to earth. Riders reach at 76 mph and experience raven turns, back flips, a front flip and a sky dive with G-force. With 15 world class roller coasters to its name, Six Flags holds the record for most roller coaster excitement in one venue.
Roar! pictured below is a 10-story classic wooden roller coaster which speeds along at 50 miles per hour while cavorting 17 turns, 6 reversals and 22 crossovers. If that doesn't provide an adrenaline rush, Medusa is a new floorless roller coaster designed to give the feel of floating. The prime directive in creating it was to come up with something akin to "butter smooth gliding in an easy chair." Seldom in an upright position and never having feet planted firmly on anything, the floorless ride is a unique experience for those who thought they'd done it all.
Here are some of the many rides and attractions featured at the park:
MEDUSA -Flying steel roller coaster without floor
MONSOON FALLS -Up a river and over 55-foot plunge
WHITE WATER SAFARI -Wet river rapids
MONKEY BUSINESS -Spin and control the fun
WAVE SWINGER- suspended swing
THE ARK -Swinging ship arcs up to 75°.
JAMBO -Into the sky before falling rapidly
ROUND THE WORLD -Fancy balloon gondolas
STAR FISH -Spin as you rock side to side
THRILLA GORILLA -Low-intensity ride
SHORELINE EXPRESS -Train
TASMANIAN DEVIL™ -Whirl in gliding, saucer- disk
ROADRUNNER EXPRESS™ -Kiddie coaster
DINOSPHERE TURBORIDE -Iwerks' 3-D motion simulator
Medusa
A "floorless" roller coaster-the first of its kind in the West-started taking on riders at Six Flags Marine World. Six Flags' Medusa, a $15 million, 150-foot-tall, purple and green serpentine supercoaster, is giving riders a thrill. The new floorless roller coaster-a ride that reaches speeds of 65 miles per hour through seven inversions is one of only five floorless coasters in the world. Passengers ride in comfortable, open-air seats on top of Medusa's 4,000 foot-long track, legs dangling, while experiencing an unprecedented feeling of flying. The series of hills, loops, high speed spins and back-to-back inversions deliver an exhilarating ride that is non-stop fun.
Accessible by car from U.S. 101 North, take Hwy. 37 east to Marine World Pkwy. High-speed catamaran ferry service is offered from San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf at Pier 39. For schedule information, call the Blue & Gold Fleet at 415-773-1188 or Baylink at 707-64-FERRY. Amtrak serves Six Flags Marine World via Thruway Shuttle from the Martinez Station. Bus transit time is 20 minutes. Call 800-USA-RAIL for information.

Infineon Raceway

Hotels Close to Infineon Raceway
Infineon Raceway, formerly Sears Point Raceway, is a 2.52 miles (4.06 km) road course and drag strip located on the landform known as Sears Point in the southern Sonoma Mountains near Sonoma, California, USA. The course is a complex series of twists and turns that go up and down the hills. It is host to one of only four national NASCAR races each year that are run on road courses (including two races at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York and the Nationwide Series-only races at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec, Canada). It is also host to the Indy Racing League and several other auto races and motorcycle races such as the American Federation of Motorcyclists series. Infineon Raceway continues to host amateur, or club racing events which may or may not be open to the general public. The largest such car club is the Sports Car Club of America.
With the closure of Riverside International Raceway in Riverside, California after the 1988 season, NASCAR, wanting a west coast road course event to replace it, chose the Sears Point facility. Riverside International was razed for a shopping center development.
In 2002, Sears Point Raceway was renamed after a corporate sponsor, Infineon. However, as with many renamings of sports complexes, many people still call it by its original name. (It was never affiliated with Sears, Roebuck and Company, having been named for the nearby geographical feature.)
The standard road course at Infineon Raceway is a 2.52 miles (4.06 km) 12 turn course, however the track was modified in 1998, adding the Chute, which bypassed turns 5 and 6, shortening the course to 1.95 miles (3.14 km). The Chute was only used for NASCAR events such as the Toyota/Save Mart 350, and was criticized by many drivers, who prefer the full layout.[1] In 2001, it was replaced with the 70° turn, 4A bringing the track to its current dimensions of 1.99 miles (3.20 km).[2] Most races, including the Grand American Road Racing Association's Grand Prix of Sonoma, use the full course, while American Motorcyclist Association and Indy Racing League events use a modified 2.22 miles (3.57 km), 12 turn course. This layout, opened in 2003, skips much of the Esses and run from Turn 10 to Turn 11 (the hairpin) for additional safety for motorcyclists, including runoff available in the motorcycle Turn 11 (the main Turn 11 has no runoff, and is a very slow turn, similar to the Loews hairpin at Monaco). The raceway also has a quarter mile (400 m) drag strip used for NHRA drag racing events. The drag strip was originally located on part of the front straightaway of the course. Track changes completed in 2002 separated the road course from the drag strip.

The Quarryhill Botanical Garden is a research botanical garden housing one of the largest collections of temperate Asian plants in North America. Quarryhill is located near Glen Ellen, in the Sonoma Valley of California, USA, and is open to the public.
The garden is devoted to plants from temperate China, Japan and the Himalayas, with more than 90 percent grown from wild-collected, scientifically documented seed. The collection includes rare varieties such as Acer pentaphyllum, Cornus capitata, Holboellia coriacea, Illicium simonsii, and Rosa chinensis var. spontanea, all native to Sichuan, as well as extensive collections of various wild Asian dogwoods, lilies, magnolias, maples, oaks, roses, and rhododendrons.
The Arboretum can be traced back to 1968, when Jane Davenport Jansen purchased 61 acres (247,000 m²) for vineyards. In 1987, she started a garden on 20 acres (81,000 m2) of this property, among hillsides consisting of old rock quarries. In that year, Quarryhill representatives made their first seed collecting expedition to Asia. A nursery was established in 1988, and planting began in 1990.
Annual Quarryhill expeditions have collected seeds and herbarium specimens from the following Asian regions to date: China - Hubei, Sichuan, Taiwan, Tibet, Yunnan; India - Himachal Pradesh; Japan - Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, Yakushima; and Nepal. Other expeditions have collected from North America. The garden also receives wild collected seed courtesy of Index Seminum publications from Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, as well as Asian seed and plants from North American gardens.

Little Ocmulgee State Park is a 1,360-acre (550 ha) Georgia state park located 2 miles (3.2 km) north of McRae on the Little Ocmulgee River. Part of the park was initially built by the CCC during the Great Depression, around the natural diversion of the Little Ocmulgee into a lake. This is a 256-acre (104 ha) lake with beach, and the park includes a 60 room lodge, and a championship 18-hole golf course plus pro shop. The soil around the Ocmulgee River and the Little Ocmulgee is a fine white sand, and therefore the lake has its own "beach sand." Also within the park is the 2.6-mile (4.2 km) long Oak Ridge Trail, allowing visitors to see native wildlife and plants.
