My brothers service was on Wednesday, July 1, 2020. Because of the awful Covid-19 battle that we all are experiencing, there was not a rifle salute nor Color Guard, but the 3 military service people providing the service did a moving and excellent job. Every effort was top-notch, this saying that regardless the situation, the services are truly indeed done with total respect and dignity. The grounds are lovely, vast and well-kept. Mother nature does her part too by keeping the flag(s) waving as it is definitely "gusty" there. Thank you to the military personnel who provided their services that day. It is an honor to have been so honored by your efforts. My brother will rest well.

Growing up in Merced, I recall watching my father, an attorney, try cases in this very courthouse. It has been amazingly preserved and is a treasure to visit.

Merced Wildlife Refuge added a 1.5 mile loop trail to their complex. This new area is not connected to the main bird refuge. It’s located about a mile SE of the refuge, on the right side of Sandy Mush Rd when driving from Merced. This area is rather plain, dotted with cottonwood trees, but there’s no water. A viewing platform at Deadman’s Creek along the trail hints at the fact you might see birds sometimes, but the creek is bone dry at this time. Still, it’s a pleasant walk, and we’re grateful for the opportunity. On the plus side, there are plenty of benches for resting, picnic tables, so it’s a great spot to meet and enjoy a meal especially during the pandemic. The trail is flat, wide, graded gravel, and would be appropriate for a wheelchair. Bathrooms are a mile further along Sandy Mush Rd, at the main refuge. (Which will be on your left). Since walking opportunities are limited at the main refuge, this would be a nice place to start out. Take a walk here and then take the auto tour at the bird refuge. From November to March this is a wonderful place to visit. We saw thousands of birds today at the main refuge. As you can see from my photos there are not a lot of photo opps near the Cottonwood Trail. You will find those opps when taking the auto tour.

We wet tp San Luis Reservoir. Its a man made lake, which is beautiful to see. We also went to Romero Visitor Center. They have a good movie and exhibits on California aqueduct, dam, and water conservation techniques. There is also good views and telescopes to see San Luis Reservoir Lae.
