Carbon Neutral

I wonder if while driving through the Redwoods we become carbon neutral? I wonder if the Napa vines consume enough CO2? Today we stopped for lunch at Parducci Winery (and to buy some Petite Syrah) and discovered that they not only make organic wines but are the first recognized carbon neutral winery in the US.
It poured rain all last night and drizzled and spluttered all day today. Actually it's Oregon sunshine but in the wrong state. We were driving through the tiny town of Laytonville. Kit says "Here is another town with no redeeming qualities". Wrong! I found a quilt shop. Stop!!
We have arrived in Calistoga planning to spend some days of R and R. But the weather is not conducive to bike rides or walks through the town. We found the driest spot at the fairgrounds campground and when Kit wakes up from his nap we will walk into town to visit my favorite bookstore and have dinner at our favorite Cal/Mex restaurant. Too bad there is not a quilt shop in Calistoga. Too bad it keeps raining.
