This 55-ft long houseboat underwent a 7 month transformation in 2010, when she received canopied upper decks, granite finishes, a main salon, and other beauty marks that would make her a frontrunner on a season of The Bachelor. Today, the now-luxurious Rosemarie glides gracefully around the Calif Delta under the direction of Captain Morgan, who has been boating those same waterways since the age of 16. He invites passengers onto his vessel for customizable adventures, some of which incl food & drink; some last overnight. Other trips operate on an hourly basis, including one that cruises up the Old River and beneath the risen Orwood Railroad Bridge.

A hidden gem that is well worth visiting. Chinese immigrants built the farmlands around the Sacramento Delta. You see this work up close and personal since you have to drive over the levees that they built to get to Locke. The town has numerous buildings dating back to the Chinese period in the early 1900s. There are also several museums (all free admission) showing the lifestyle of that period. Many of the buildings are not in great condition now, but that is part of the town's charm.
