40_188 Winters, Yolo Co. - Winters is a very neat and clean little town - much cleaner and neater than the very much older town of Vacaville. All the natural or wild life has, however, largely disappeared. It was once set in lordly forests of Quercus lobata which stretched along the deep loam soil of the Putah borders. In the old days there were "camp meetings" held in the fall of the year on the river bench - what a place it was for a boy naturalist in those years and how I luxuriated in it as with unwearied young legs every direction invited my interest. We drive west from Winters to the Devil's Gate in Putah Pass. One of the sights here are the groves of Cercis occidentalis |
