Water

I gather that the waterways here are Little Potato Slough and the Mokelumne River, and I think this is the river. Terminous is a tiny place where goods used to packed for shipping on the water. Now, there are more campers than occupants (there’s a large marina and KOA just opposite Westgate Landing).
