[Nobbc] Caravans to Woodland...

[Ron Engelhardt]

It shouldn't be that much longer going by Berryessa, at least it isn't 
when going from Silverado Trail via 128 and 121 to Winters. It may be 
longer from Fairfield though. However, the ride would be much nicer! I 
think the best way from Santa Rosa is the Berryessa route but not if 
you're coming from the Bay area or San Francisco.
