Heading Home

I took off this morning from Livermore for the first leg of my trip home. I rode Vasco road out to Brentwood to scope out the area a bit then crossed the Antioch bridge and rode the delta levy roads to Sacramento

The photo is of one of the many drawbridges throughout the delta. Riding this route was far superior to taking 580 out to I-5 and then north to Sacto.

After I passed Sacramento, I stopped in Woodland for gas and took the opportunity to visit the Agricultural museum there. Fascinating place full of old tractors and trucks. I have lots of photos but here are a few from the truck section of the museum for now. This notebook is tough to edit photos on ! :( I'll put the rest into a slide show when I get home.

Entrance to the museum

A 1936 Chevy Pickup

This is a full size wooden model of a 1957 GMC pickup. It's
made entirely of wood, not one piece of metal was used. I
Have more photos of this very cool truck!!!

A 1932 Pierce Arrow Truck

From there it was a pretty boring ride north on I-5 until I passed Redding. After that the ride is more enjoyable. It's a bit cooler because you start gaining altitude and the road has a lot more curves to enjoy. The scenery is also better.

Anyway, I rode as far as Ashland, OR today so I should make it all the way home tomorrow, albeit, a bit late in the day.
