It was a Friday afternoon in the fall of 1971. A friend and I were finished with another week of classes at UC Davis. We jumped into my Austin Healey Sprite (it happened to be running that weekend) and headed south from Davis on Old Davis Road. An hour or so later we found ourselves in Rio Vista and enjoyed the sights of the old river town for the rest of the evening.

Because it was Friday and I was much younger and less wise than I am now, I don't remember all of the details of this road trip. [xx(]

What is certain to me now is that I drove from Davis to Rio Vista without traveling or crossing Interstate 80 again. Neither did I travel on HWY 113, Interstate 5 (it was not finished then), HWY 12, or HWY 160. I didn't travel west of Dixon, north of Davis, east of Sacramento or south of Rio Vista. All roads were blacktop and we were not so messed-up that we drove off-road. How did we do it?
