From Leisure Town To The City Of Beef Lard »

Manteca

Sunday 22 March 2009 12:36am by Tom

I think it means beef fat in Spanish. And that’s where we’re moving to. Manteca. The city of beef fat!

It’s been a year in Vacaville. It’s been nice. I didn’t really get a good feel for it. It was too much like suburbia to me. Caught in the middle between Sacramento and the Bayarrhea. So much for Leisure Town and the Road To Fun. It’s time to move on.

So we’re moving to Manteca, and I’m excited. 90 miles from Yosemite works pretty well for me. We’ll be much closer to fly fishing and granite rocks and pine trees.

So far I like what I see. It seems to be more of an outdoorsman’s community than Vacaville. The Bass Pro Shop in Manteca is comparable to Cabela’s in Reno. I love both places.

Our new apartment is close to downtown Manteca. I’ll scout it out, I always do. I’ll find the ’spots’.

Two more weeks. Good bye Vacaville. I hardly knew ye.
