In the 70s it had become sort of a Skid Row of Sacramento, they have done a lot to reclaim it and make it a historical area.
When I drive home to my parents house in North Central Kansas, I always go through Marysville, KS. A way station for the Pony Express. I have visited the Marysville location a couple of times. So it was cool to see the end of the line, so to speak. The statue below is a dedication to the riders, it is facing the former station terminus as if the rider is coming in.

| The terminus of the Pony Express, now it is a Wells Fargo museum. |
The Old Sac area goes up the river with nice parks and walking trails. There is also vintage train cars and a train museum that we didn't get to visit.

| The mark on the piling was the water level during the 1997 flood. |
 |
| The ultra cool, historic Tower Bridge. The middle sections goes straight up so that boat traffic can get through. |
 |
| The Delta King. Historic steamship now converted into a hotel with bar and restaurant. Stationary, it doesn't move. The bar was in the front top section. |
