I checked the maps, and it looks like the UC Davis gig (4/24) will be reasonably accessible from the Davis Amtrak. So, I'll probably go by train and
leave the car at home.

Any Forum members want to meet before or after for lunch (Sam's Mediterranean? Ali Baba? Raja's Indian Cuisine?)?
Peace,

Thanks! It is a bit of a dilemma when you have to take vacation time off from the "day job"...
Best,
