IT'S A FUN OUTDOOR WATERPARK WITH WATERSLIDES, INNERTUBE RAPIDS AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FUN THINGS.

IT PUT MANTECA ON THE MAP. WHENEVER I TOLD SOMEONE I WAS FROM THERE THEY'D SAY 'OH YEAH, THE WATERSLIDE PLACE'

ANYWAY, IT WAS A GOOD PLACE TO WORK AND LOTS OF FUN

Comfort Inn.: Comfort Inn., Manteca

 sargentjeff Says:  69-120 USD per night One of only a few hotels in the city. Not a bad place to stay when driving in the North/South direction because it's right off the Hwy 99. Manteca is the point in the state where two major highways come to their closest point together Interstate 5 and...

The all you can eat pizza night was 'da bomb'. Don't know if they still have it, but it's well worth the $6-$8 to try all different types of pizza.

My brother and I once had a competition (stupid teenagers). He kicked my butt by eating 16 pieces of pizza. Following that we had a sit-up competition. He nearly lost his dinner

Favorite Dish: PIZZA!!

Delicato Winery. A family run business since 1924, Delicato Vineyards produces some of the most highly touted wines in California. Currently, nine members of the Indelicato family work in the family business. Being part of the family doesn't give immediate employment. They must first work for two years outside the wine industry to gain experience and a different perspective

Manteca Water Tower

Favorite thing: who knows anymore. I don't have any family there now, so I probably won't get back much. Maybe for a HS reunion or something. 2005 makes 20 years. God how time flies.

Favorite thing: GO TO A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME.

Fondest memory: Manteca lives for high school football, and if you go to Gus Schmidt field on a Friday night in the fall, you'll see it for yourself. Parents screaming, hot dogs, the MHS band kickin' out the music, ahh, those were some great times. I played on the team for the four years I went to Manteca High. I loved the sport, and even though I didn't get much game playing time, I gave my all 100% of the time. Coaches Founts, Miller, Cotta and Matthews were our slave drivers and smoked our butts on a regular basis. Gotta love 120 summer practice weather.

by the way. I'm standing in the far right corner on top.
