... a lot of really nice muscle cars there but didn't see any street rods...
... you know, like a 32 Ford 5 window coupe chopped and channeled...
... or a 40 Ford coup or a 40 Ford pickup...
... just as well... Babydoll wouldn't agree with the $$$...

... Jim has 4pm commitment, gets concerned about traffic delays...
... soooo, coming into Capay takes the road to Dunnigan and home...

... and we ride on to "our" orchard...
