An empty Corona bottle; a spent lemon, substituting for a spend lime; each sitting atop a wobbly podium parked in the middle of a dirt and gravel parking lot. I can think of no better analogy for the once bustling town of Port Costa.

I love this place and go there several times each year. Should you have thoughts of going there - beware. 'Google' everything you can find on the topic - and heed each warning - especially if you plan to spend the night. You have been warned.
