Afterthought

Above is me outside The Burlington

Looking back, I really enjoyed myself. I thought it would be a cool town and it met my expectations. It's easy to think that a town with a population of 232 people isn't going to be that cool, but it really was. It's really awesome that small towns like this exist. I was talking to a local named George who owned the small art shop in the town (to the left of the Burlington) and his mom J.D. before leaving, and they told me the Sunday before I came, 500 Harley's came through this town. Apparently the Hell's Angels biker gang did a poker run through this town. J.D. told me that this wasn't uncommon. 

It was really neat and surprising to me to hear that not only is this town surviving, but it's thriving. From an old brothel with rentable rooms to a bar with 450 beers to chose from, this town is definitely unique. Port Costa is awesome, and because I liked it so much, my friends and I have plans of staying overnight in The Burlington this summer. I totally recommend this town to anyone whose up for a little adventure. And you get to see a train drive by every hour too!
