Google maps says that it’s a 240 mile drive, with the central valley between us. If I lived back east, there’d probably be two states between us, in Europe, we’d be in different countries. :-) Yes I know 100 years is a long time, vs. 100 miles is a long distance. I live in Felton, just outside Santa Cruz, about 40 miles south of San Jose and about 75 south of San Francisco. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Felton,+CA/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
